Mental health is a concern for everyone, particularly Black Americans. Systemic racism. Police violence. Poverty. Food insecurity. Covid Pandemic. These are all problems that can affect our mental health. Depression, anxiety, suicide, and stress-related disorders affect many Black Americans. There is no need to be silent. You are not alone. August is Global Black Mental Health Awareness Month declares Black Therapy Central and other Black organizations to recognize that

Black people, regardless of location, face similar mental health issues and self-hatred problems caused by the trauma of global systemic racism. The specific mental health needs of Black people around the world are distinct and therefore separate from other groups. Black Therapy Central launched the campaign in conjunction with other Black organizations focused on the need for improved collective wellness and the restoration of humanity within Black communities.
