"Until the Lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the Hunter. African proverb."
This conversation centered around mental health stigma and the effects of language and labels on people of color(POC) in America and across the African Diaspora. Even labeling people of color as "minority"(which is a lie in terms of raw numbers, as a matter of fact, POC make up the majority of the world's population) has negatively impacted the mindsets of people of color.
"Mental health conditions do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, or identity. Anyone can experience the challenges of mental illness regardless of their background. However, background and identity can make access to mental health treatment much more difficult. National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 2008 to start changing this.
Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition.
Taking on the challenges of mental health conditions, health coverage and the stigma of mental illness requires all of us. In many communities, these problems are increased by less access to care, cultural stigma and lower quality care.
