Mental Health Stigma In The Church & African American Community Pt1

Brittany discusses the stigma on mental health. Starting with her own experience of postpartum depression and the responses of others. Ways to end mental health stigma is to educate yourself & children, create open dialogue for household discussions, use real examples of mental illnesses, listen and support loved ones regardless of religious beliefs and backgrounds. The lack of support groups for trauma inflicted individuals in the church and the lack to seek professional help based on the limited access to treatment is discussed. No need for note taking today, just think about it.
