Hey, Sister-friend
Join Hosts T-Kea and Jordan with special guests Courtney Anderson-Harvey and Jillian Pelzer for a LIVE show! BLACK & SUICIDAL: The Rise of Suicide in the Community. WATCH LIVE ON FACEBOOK: https://fb.me/e/2FOjskP1ZWATCH LIVE ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/live/oWJlgYtUJS4?feature=shareIn honor of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Month, we are shedding light on suicide in the Black community. Observed each July, BIPOC Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges and needs of historically disenfranchised or oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the United States.Many people in the Black community are told suicide is a "white people thing." In fact, suicide is among the leading cause of death in the United States and increasing rapidly among Blacks. Rates of suicide among Black youth have risen faster than in any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades, with suicide rates in Black males 10-19 years-old increasing by 60%. Early adolescent Black youth are twice as likely to die by suicide as compared to their white counterparts.This event is a candid conversation presented by Black People Die By Suicide Too, Mental Health Empowerment Agency, A Resting Place Counseling, and Graceland Therapeutics featuring black women who are mental health professionals with experience of losing loved ones to suicide and surviving suicide.
In this episode of the Be the Bridge Podcast, host Latasha Morrison engages in a powerful discussion with Licensed Professional Counselor Dr. Chinwé Williams surrounding mental health. They talk through the collective trauma the world has endured and the racial trauma the BIPOC community endures. Dr. Chinwé shares about the benefits of somatic therapy, the need to foster emotional resilience in kids, and helpful tips for talkings with kids and teens about racism. Dr. Chinwé concludes the conversation with a word for the BIPOC community. You will be empowered to be a mindful listener and to remain steadfast in the midst of struggles. You will feel validated and encouraged. And you will be reminded that there is always help and hope.

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, also known as BIPOC Mental Health Month, and raises awareness of the challenges that affect the mental health of racial and ethnic minority groups. This month was developed to honor the efforts of Bebe Moore Campbell, an American author, journalist, teacher and mental health advocate, who was driven to bring awareness to the unique mental health struggles of racial and ethnic minority communities through her personal experiences with a family member's mental illness. In today's episode of Psych Talk, I provide some statistics on BIPOC mental health, discuss unique challenges and barriers that BIPOC individuals face with regard to mental health and access to mental health care, and discuss things we can do on an individual, community, and public health level to bring awareness to and advocate for change that will help reduce the inequalities BIPOC individuals face. Further, as I am not BIPOC, I provide some resources and accounts of individuals to follow on social media that are amazing resources to learn more from.

Observed each July and originally designated as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, BIPOC Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges and needs of historically disenfranchised or oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Black and Indigenous people and other people of color (BIPOC) experience a broad spectrum of ongoing discrimination, oppression, and inequity rooted in America's colonialist history, all of which foster both collective and individual trauma in those communities.

Women's Health, Wisdom, and. . . WINE! is a weekly conversation with practitioners, providers, patients, and healers about complex reproductive medicine and women's health challenges, the value of an integrative approach to these challenges, many of the women's health topics you're already thinking about but uncomfortable talking about, and my personal favorite. . . WINE!July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month (also known as BIPOC Mental Health Month). Formally recognized in June 2008, BIPOC Mental Health Month was created to bring awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face in regard to mental illness in the US.Working at the intersection of racism and sexism, Black women face vast obstacles in the workplace that can lead to undue trauma all in the name of making a living and providing for their families. We are overrepresented in minimum-wage jobs and almost nonexistent in the C-suite.We face bias and systemic barriers in hiring and promotions.We get less support from managers and sponsorsWe are often the only Black person in the room.We face a greater variety of microaggressions and instances of everyday racism.And on top of all of this, we are paid less.The barriers Black women face aren't limited to the workplace. Right now, our resilience is being tested in unprecedented ways.As evidenced by the high morbidity and mortality rates of Black women, we are confronting over AND covert anti-Black sentiment in our healthcare system, namely in hospitals when we're the most vulnerable. We've been on the front lines of the fights for racial and gender equity for far too long. More than ever, it's important for everyone to be aware of what Black women are up against and understand how to be part of the solution.And still we rise.About Jacquie:Jacquie Abram is the international best-selling and award-winning author of Hush Money: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in Her Workplace and Kept Her Job. Before Jacquie began her journey as an author and DEI/Anti-racism Consultant, she had a career in higher education that spanned nearly two decades. Throughout her career, she experienced racism in the workplace,the kind of racism that is more covert, hidden, and harder to prove. Hush Money is much more than just another book about systemic racism. For employees, it's a roadmap, a survival guide for fighting racism and other forms of discrimination in the workplace. For employers, it's a compass for finding and identifying covert racism in the organization. For allies who have never experienced racism in the workplace, it's a powerful way to step into the shoes of a racial discrimination victim.Resources Mentioned:Hush Money: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in Her Workplace and Kept Her JobHush Money: The Cost of Being Black in Corporate AmericaConnect with Jacquie:LinkedIn: Jacquie Abram Facebook: jacquie.abram Instagram: jacquie_abram_hushmoneyTwitter: hushmoney2020The podcast's hashtag is #nourishyourflourish.

This week Divya and Ravisha are joined by Emily Brennan, a Phoenix-based therapist, mental health advocate, and host of Because We Went To Therapy podcast. Emily is committed to cultural curiosity, anti-racism, and is not only a colleague to the CB duo, but also a close friend (Divya is the Matron of Honor in Emily's wedding this October!). The conversation is inspired by BIPOC Mental Health Month and how Divya, Ravisha, and Emily know how friendship plays a huge role into one's well-being and mental health.The three of them know that race can be a tough topic to talk about, and how as a society we more-so discuss 'interracial relationships' (romantic) but not as much friendships. (A 2014 study showed that 3 out of 4 white people do not have a BIPOC friend...wild!!!) They start by reflecting on how race plays into friendships from a young age, and how as people get older they tend to talk less about race. Divya and Ravisha share their experiences with interracial relationships - and how their experiences shaped their own racial and cultural identity development.Divya shares her experience being mostly in interracial friendships (how most her friends are white) and how healing discussing race and culture has been in her friendships. She discusses Emily's advocacy and curiosity in their own friendship and how her cultural curiosity gave her room to feel seen, validated, and normalize her cultural experiences.Along with lots of real talks, authenticity, and diving deep in this episode, the three cover...How and why race is uncomfortable to talk about, and how to break the cycle of 'not discussing race'How discussing race can deepen authenticity and connection in relationshipsWhy people stray from interracial friendships and how this can be harmful for all peopleHow to ask questions about race and culture (and why there are no "wrong questions!!")A guide on how to bring up and share issues on race Article mentioned:https://goop.com/wellness/relationships/how-to-talk-about-race-and-racism/Find Emily Brennan on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/becausewewenttotherapy/?hl=enListen to Emily and Ashley's Podcast: Because We Went To Therapy : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/because-we-went-to-therapy/id1607563874Find Divya on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/mindmatterswithdiv/Find Ravisha on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/raysofravisha/?hl=enIf you liked this episode, please leave us a review here!

Yes, EMDR therapy works for indigenous people. If you heard that myth, this episode will bust it and others. Can EMDR therapy make a difference so that you can process your past trauma and racism? Many Native American/FNMI people experience ongoing complex, complicated traumatic experiences similar to PTSD due to the Residential School/Boarding School era, intergenerational trauma, racial inequality, and ongoing oppressive systems within Turtle Island, known as North America.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: July is BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) Mental Health Month, which is also known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, named for the mental health advocate who brought awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face in regard to mental illness in the US. I've invited Susan Chung on to Talking Taiwan to talk about her career in mental health, and BIPOC Mental Health Month. Susan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, who provides psychotherapy specifically to BIPOC students. We also spoke about key statistics and research findings that inform us about the mental health of Asians, some of the unique challenges facing BIPOC communities and individuals, the racism that Susan has experienced as a mental health professional, and the importance of managing our own mental health. This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by NATWA, the North America Taiwanese Women's Association. NATWA was founded in 1988, and its mission is: to evoke a sense of self-esteem and enhance women's dignity, to oppose gender discrimination and promote gender equality, to fully develop women's potential and encourage their participation in public affairs, to contribute to the advancement of human rights and democratic development in Taiwan, to reach out and work with women's organizations worldwide to promote peace for all.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Month, and in this episode of Coping 101 our students explore mental health in BIPOC communities with Andrea Ramos-Castillo - an elementary school-based therapist from Seattle Children's Odessa Brown Children's Clinic. 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.

Observed each July and originally designated as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, BIPOC Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges and needs of historically disenfranchised or oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Black and Indigenous people and other people of color (BIPOC) experience a broad spectrum of ongoing discrimination, oppression, and inequity rooted in America's colonialist history, all of which foster both collective and individual trauma in those communities. Counselors, therapists and other mental health professionals are essential to promoting the mental health and well-being of people in BIPOC communities and addressing the systemic discrepancies in quality of and access to care for these individuals. By providing counselors with the support, education, and professional resources needed to serve BIPOC clients, we can work together to create deep multicultural competence and provide effective care for the mental health of every individual. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Patalie Nortman returns this episode to discuss everything related to child trafficking, more specifically child sex trafficking. We zoomed out to provide a bigger scope of HOW and WHY this happens to so many children. Instead of focusing on the stats that anyone can Google, we discussed Patalie's clinical experiences working with kids who were being trafficked. Some of the hard truths are discussed, along with the Breaking Code Silence movement and warning signs for parents, teachers, and any adults around kids. On a more lighthearted note, we also discuss therapists' obsessions with cardigans (seriously, it is a thing).

July is BIPOC Mental Health Month in the US. It exists to “bring awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face regarding mental illness” in this country. While mental health challenges impact humans regardless of race, body size, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, and so on, we also recognize that racism, colonization, police brutality, and white supremacy—among other things—are events and harsh realities that affect BIPOC in a significant way that can not and should not be ignored or dismissed. In this episode, to help us lean into those things, we're joined by Ricky Neal, Crisis Text Line's Volunteer Experience Manager. As a Black man growing up in Laurens, South Carolina, he'll share his personal mental health experience when it comes to racial identity and cultural stigma, and from a professional lens, Ricky will talk about the importance of having the people on the other end of a call, text, or counseling appointment be able to identify with the unique struggles BIPOC communities face on a daily basis.

What is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month National minority mental health awareness month is a campaign held annually under the sponsorship of CDC and HHS in commemorating federal intentions of eliminating health discrepancies that were marshaled by the findings from the Heckler Report. The campaign takes place every July when the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) launches outreach programs to disseminate health information and education material designed for minority sectors of the population, including Hispanics, Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, as well as Native Americans. Purpose of National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month The purpose of the national minority mental health awareness month is to ensure that useful information and technical assistance are available for patient education in response to minority population requirements, particularly those in special care services like school, medical, community-based and worksite locations. The campaign also aims at creating awareness among afflicted persons and surfaces them with details about where they can find help. In addition, the Department continues with research and implements innovative models for financing health services depending on current departmental agreements. It's also an opportunity for initiating discussions with minority and non-minority health experts, organizations, State government, academic institutions and other entities from private and public sectors in coming up with means and ways of improving availability and accessibility of health professionals to minority populations. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Season 3 of the Going There podcast continues today with Bartees Strange helping launch our focus on BIPOC Mental Health Month. The Farm to Table artist joins host Dr. Mike Friedman for a discussion about the concept of validation and why it it so critical for maintaining strong mental health and emotional well-being.Strange explains how he experienced the damaging effects of invalidation when dealing with racism, often feeling that some people in his life would either directly or inadvertently invalidate that experience. As an example, he describes growing up in Oklahoma and witnessing violence against black people and fearing violence against himself. When others told him he'd be "fine" or "safe," it didn't reassure him -- it only made him feel more frightened.He also discusses the feelings of invalidation that came when others told him following his love of music was not a valid choice. (Something he's clearly proven them wrong about, as he's recently announced his first-ever headlining tour, tickets for which can be found here.)Listen to Bartees Strange discuss mental health from the perspective of a BIPOC artists in the episode now.
