  • Mental Health In The Black Community

    Mental Health In The Black Community
    Apr 3 2024
    Diminished access to mental health care is one of the many ways systemic racism has affected the Black community — but things are starting to change. “Mental illness is a pervasive issue in the African American community, with many negative social and economic impacts,” explains Owoo. She states that factors driving mental health disparities among African Americans include:
    • distrust of the medical system
    • institutionalized racism and oppression
    • trauma caused by racism and violence
    • healthcare inequities
    • lack of access to quality mental health care
    • cultural competency gaps among providers
    • the lack of diverse mental health professionals
    • the common stigma of seeking help within the Black community

  • Self Depression Help

    Self Depression Help
    Apr 3 2024
    You’re unique, and what works for others won’t necessarily work for you. Make a list of what you can do when you need a boost in your mood or are feeling overwhelmed. Once you’ve made your list, keep it somewhere easily accessible. Better yet, keep it on your phone to always have it on hand. Then, when you need it, you can pull it out and look through some ideas that have helped you before. They might just include the thing you need right now. Items on your personalized depression self-care list could include:
    • listening to a favorite song
    • coloring or drawing
    • calling or texting a friend
    • looking at a cherished photo album
    • knitting or crafting
    • practicing yoga, tai chi, or another light exercise
    • doing stretching exercises
    • going for a brief walk around the block
    • doing some breathing exercises
