July has been designated as BIPOC Mental Health Awareness month. The pervasiveness of racism and many other "isms" adversely affect the mental health of this group. Research shows that intergenerational and historical trauma, racial oppression leads to specific mental health needs. However, due to barriers such as health inequities, socio-economic disparities, stigma, and lack of cultural competency by some providers, they often do not receive the assistance needed to address and effectively manage such mental health issues.

In this episode, we delve deep into the critical topic of mental health resources, focusing on their accessibility to both the general population and the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities. We explore various organizations and initiatives dedicated to promoting mental health and dismantling the barriers that impede individuals from seeking help. To begin with, we highlight the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) and its comprehensive support and education programs. NAMI offers a wide range of resources, including classes, support groups (both in-person and online), mental health communities, online discussion groups, and a thought-provoking podcast that explores mental health challenges and triumphs. Another influential player in the mental health landscape is Mental Health America (MHA), which provides free online screening tools for conditions such as depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders. MHA also conducts webinars and hosts the podcast "In the Open," offering valuable insights into mental health awareness and recovery. Inclusive representation and support for BIPOC communities are paramount in this discussion, and we highlight the remarkable efforts of The Mental Health Coalition. We delve into their dedicated resources, including those specifically tailored to BIPOC individuals, which provide a safe and nurturing environment to reclaim cultural roots while addressing mental health concerns. Understanding the unique challenges faced by BIPOC communities, we discuss the Anxiety and Depression Association of America's (ADAA) efforts to bridge the gap by offering community support resources and access to BIPOC therapists. Additionally, we explore the historical significance of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, which was designated in July 2008 to honor Bebe Moore Campbell, a prominent mental health advocate. Campbell's tireless work shed light on the mental health needs of the Black community and other underrepresented groups. Her legacy serves as a catalyst for fostering safe spaces that connect individuals with shared experiences and cultural backgrounds, granting them access to vital mental health resources and support networks. Throughout the episode, we tackle some of the prevailing challenges faced by BIPOC communities in accessing mental health resources, including stigmas surrounding mental health, experiences of racism, language and cultural differences, a lack of cultural competence in providers, and barriers to access, care, and treatment. Join us for this crucial conversation as we strive to break down barriers, advocate for mental health equality, and promote a compassionate and inclusive approach to mental well-being for everyone, regardless of their cultural background or ethnicity. Together, we can create a more empathetic and supportive mental health landscape for all individuals and BIPOC communities alike.

Dawes & Holden (2017) assert, "There's no health without mental health." In order to raise awareness about the mental health issues affecting the BIPOC community, July has been observed as "National Minority Mental Health Awareness" month. Minoritized and marginalized individuals experience a number of challenges in addressing mental health issues such as: racism, discrimination, inadequate resources to access health care, well founded distrust of the medical system and cultural stigma. In lieu of such barriers, prioritization of our mental health is not a luxury we can't afford, it's a necessity. Tune into the podcast via www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

Why I Left is kicking off BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Guest with a special guest, Dr. Chrissy Lee. Dr. Lee is a neuropsychologist who focuses on gender and racial mental health care disparities and neuropsychological assessment. During the episode, Dr. Lee discussed the trends she is seeing in her practice and the community she serves. She shared her experiences as one of the few psychologists of color in a large hospital system, where they faced pressure to provide education on culturally relevant topics and equity-focused therapeutic work due to the increasing diversity of students and staff.  The episode also delved into the topic of mentorship, and how it can be crucial for increasing representation in the field. Dr. Lee shared how good mentors helped them to advocate for themselves and recognize when things were unethical or inappropriate during their training.  Additionally, the episode shed light on how the pandemic has affected mental health. Dr. Lee discussed how remote learning has worked well for some neurodiverse kids who were historically on the fringe, while social isolation has triggered depressive episodes for others.  We hope this episode provides important insights for listeners who may be navigating the challenges of mental health during the pandemic, as well as for psychologists and mental health providers who are invested in creating safe and inclusive environments.  Enjoy the conversation!Brian's raising money for people impacted by Childhood Trauma by running the 2023 Chicago MarathonPlease donate here: B Runs ChicagoStay connected with our GuestConnect with Dr. Lee on LinkedIn Stay connected with Why I LeftVisit Us: Why I LeftSubscribe on: YouTube,  Apple Podcasts, & SpotifyRSS feed: Why I Left RSSFollow us:Instagram: @OfficialWhyILeftLinkedIn: @WhyILeftFacebook: @OfficialWhyILeft#whyileftpodcastB Runs Chicago BetterHelp Online Therapy - Get 10% off your first month and get matched to a therapist.BetterHelp Online Therapy Enjoy 10% off your first month and get matched to a licensed therapist.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Here we unpack the stigma around seeking help, access to culturally competent care and breaking cycles to heal generational trauma from things like racism and oppression.    Presented by C89.5 in partnership with Seattle Children's, Coping 101 is an ongoing series that destigmatizes mental health from a teen's perspective, made possible with support from Crisis Connections, Carter Subaru, Hansmire Builders and Audian.    No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are healthy ways to cope.

Here at The Laura Flanders Show we have a comprehensive Internship program where participants work hands-on gaining first hand knowledge about our independent movement media operation producing our TV, radio and podcast releases. Throughout the program our entire staff spends time with each intern sharing their expertise and knowledge from editing to scripting to promotions and technical skills, and more. We mentor our interns and guide them in producing their own media pieces. You are about to hear one of those stories produced by Janet Hernandez, a recent graduate of Hunter College.Podcast Description:  What does support for BIPOC communities in the music industry look like? In response to the Black Lives Matter movement, the industry pledged to change. But the top executives are still white, and the industry's rejection of Black artists and industry professionals takes a serious toll on Black mental health. The nature of the music industry already puts its members at a high risk of suffering from mental health illnesses, and BIPOC say they can't access the right resources. Backline and the Black Mental Health Alliance are organizations that connect people to appropriate mental health resources, and their new partnership shows how industry members and mental health specialists can be allies, by working to be culturally conscious and inclusive.Guests:Andrea Brown, Executive Director, Black Mental Health AllianceHilary Gleason, Co-Founder, Executive Director, Backline For more information on our internship associate program, please email us at info@LauraFlanders.org

 Focus on BIPOC Mental Health Challenges and Outreach - guest, Sabah Muhammad, DJ Jaffe AdvocateSabah has a brother with mental illness, and is an advocate for him, and more: she  is legislative and policy counsel with Treatment Advocacy Center (see episode 31).SMI is challenging enough, but what does racial inequality add to the picture? Sabah references one of her favorite quotes: "Racism isn't the shark in the water, it is the water." Or: is it more like smog, that we can each do something to help clear?According to evermindgroup.com, “Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are impacted both in terms of increased risk for mental health problems and in their access to mental health care. Unfortunately, systemic barriers and inequities prevent those in BIPOC communities from receiving the behavioral health treatment they need. When BIPOC communities are disproportionately affected during moments of national crisis, this problem is exacerbated. “Is the system imbalanced? Biased?Let's find out.Questions:Tell us your story and why you do the work you do.Tell us about your recent report on inequities in diversion programs.What other inequities do you see?Does the current mental health system's often poor treatment of families especially harm families of color?Are there any ways our podcast could be more welcoming to BIPOC people?
