Not your Average Mental Health Episode featuring Deja Mason and Remar Talley

If the following statement triggers you, then this message is probably for you: You need to go to therapy. Historically, it has been argued that people of African American descent are victims of generational trauma that is often influenced by ancestral trauma. Because of these genetic predispositions, African American people are more likely to be exposed to certain mental health issues. This, paired with a lack of cultural understanding and a negative stigma surrounding the idea of going to therapy prevents Black people from regularly seeking therapy. With this in mind, the goal of this episode is to foster a safe place for black people that struggle with mental illness to come together and openly discuss the idea of therapy for black people, taking control of their mental health outside of the church, as well as the idea of dispelling myths surrounding taking medication. Join me and my neurodivergent friends, Deja Masson and Remar Talley, as we tackle, arguably, one of the biggest problems facing the black community today. I hope you all are ready, because this is not your average mental health episode.
