Episode 146 | Minority Mental Health Month
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, also known as BIPOC Mental Health Month, and raises awareness of the challenges that affect the mental health of racial and ethnic minority groups. This month was developed to honor the efforts of Bebe Moore Campbell, an American author, journalist, teacher and mental health advocate, who was driven to bring awareness to the unique mental health struggles of racial and ethnic minority communities through her personal experiences with a family member’s mental illness. In today's episode of Psych Talk, I provide some statistics on BIPOC mental health, discuss unique challenges and barriers that BIPOC individuals face with regard to mental health and access to mental health care, and discuss things we can do on an individual, community, and public health level to bring awareness to and advocate for change that will help reduce the inequalities BIPOC individuals face. Further, as I am not BIPOC, I provide some resources and accounts of individuals to follow on social media that are amazing resources to learn more from.
