Mental Health in the Black/African American Community
There has long been a stigma attached to the idea of therapy and seeking help for improved mental health in the black community. I personally have experienced the labels that goes along with the mental health discussion among those of African descent. Phrases like, "I don't need to see a therapist, I'm not crazy!" and "No therapists needed here, I'll just take it to God in prayer" are often heard.
Take a look at the article below and share some of your own personal thoughts as well as the stigmas you may have heard attached to mental/therapy from your respective ethnic group.
