This month is a time to bring awareness to the unique mental health challenges faced by racial and ethnic minority communities, influenced by cultural differences, systemic barriers, and social determinants of health. It's important to address the disparities these groups experience when dealing with mental ailments in an underserved environment. Minority groups consist of:
Everyone has mental health and we should prioritize it.
According to SAMHSA, members of racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely to receive services for any mental illness compared with non-hispanic whites. Cultural stigma can also prevent individuals from seeking help. Thus, effective mental health care must be culturally sensitive and responsive to their unique needs. We are then committed to working with underprivileged communities and help close this gap by bringing awareness to the mental illnesses people of color and minorities experience.
