This year's theme for World Mental Health Day is access to mental health care for ALL!
Part of helping ALL people gain access to mental health care means recognizing who is lacking the access to this care and why the access is lacking. Please take some time to listen to Taraji P. Henson discuss her experiences with anxiety and depression and how race has shaped her view on the world, mental health and how she has coped up until this point.
If you or someone you know is struggling to find a culturally competent counselor, please reach out! Counseling can be for everyone, but you need to find someone who you truly connect with...and yes, that includes the topic of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc!
