Roundtable Series #1, Session #4, “Cranes in the Sky”

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Let’s discuss the impact of systemic and everyday racism on Black women’s mental health and wellness. What has been your experience? Culturally, do you feel that there is still stigma around seeking mental health treatment? What barriers, if any, have you experienced in accessing mental health treatment? What community supports do you use to maintain your mental health and wellness? Let’s talk about “psychological fortitude” (shout out to Dr. Rheeda Walker), what does it mean for you?
