Black mental health matters is a rallying cry for identifying and dismantling the healthcare disparities that persists within the community. The lack of cultural competency, humility, relativity, gatekeeping within the profession, mistrust due to historic as well as present unethical and racists practices informed by implicit and explicit bias, and discriminatory systems are a few reasons why the health care system needs an overhaul. The mental health system must be willing to look into the proverbial mirror, accept the reality of the reflection, make amends, and make changes in order to provide trauma informed and therapeutic spaces of safety for African Americans.  Tune into the podcast via www.talkingwithdrtoy.com.

Fannie Lou Hamer asked: "Ain't I A Woman?" and that question resounds today as many African Americans are still asking, "Ain't I human?" The objectification and dehumanization of African Americans is one aspect that lies beneath the systemic mental health disparities that persist in communities of color. Not being viewed as human but as objects/commodities did not end with slavery, but persists and informs some of the mental health practices and policies that displace African Americans at society's margins. As a result, our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health represents the collateral damage of a system driven by this insidious ideology.

In this episode, the hosts get down and personal as they explore the depths of mental illnesses in our communities. Too often we have ignored our mental states of mind. In our communities it's almost forbidden to talk about mental health. You're met with so many stigmas and criticisms and not enough care and encouragements. How many times have you been called crazy because you considered therapy? How many times have you been disregarded as just seeking attention? For black men it is even worst. In today's society, black men are taught not to have feelings or at least not to share them. Black men are criticized as being weak and weak minded. Because of this stigma, many mental illnesses in black men go untreated, unacknowledged, and often leads to suicide. We hope everyone is encouraged to face those dark moments by bringing them to the light. We must not continue to people who are in mental distress. Mental illness is just as real in black men as it is in everyone else.

Black Americans have spent centuries working to convince others of their humanity and right to live. And yet, these last few weeks have taken a particularly devastating toll on the Black community. Deaths from COVID-19, a disease that has disproportionately killed people of color because of chronic inequalities in our healthcare and economic systems, surpassed 100,000. Breonna Taylor and George Floyd became the latest names added to an extensive list of Black individuals who died in the hands of police. And many of the protests following these murders were met with a militarized police presence and further police brutality.rnrnThe limited access to coping resources during this period of excessive stress is endangering Black lives even further. Black people are over seven times more likely to live in areas with limited access to mental health care. There is a dire shortage of Black mental health providers, and Black Americans are 20 percent more likely to report serious psychological distress.rnrnBlack mental health matters.

I sit down with my good friend and namesake Shontel Cargill, a licensed marriage and family therapist. She is the therapist for the culture. She wants to normalize black mental health by being a resource to black people seeking therapy. Shontel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who has been facilitating change for those who are greatly impacted by mental health issues, addictive diseases, and developmental disabilities for 6 years. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia and a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University. She had experience working with diverse populations in private practice, community health care, outpatient, and hospital settings. She specialize in marriage and family therapy, couples therapy, and maternal mental health. She also enjoys working with individuals on achieving their personal and professional goals in therapy. The therapeutic interventions she uses are inspired by Family Systems Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. With a person-centered approach, she facilitates change with her clients in a non-pathologizing and curious way, so that they feel safe to tell their stories. She meets her clients where they are in their journeys, while empowering and encouraging them along the way. Shontel likes to consider herself a navigator in her clients' therapeutic process. With a combination of life experiences and therapeutic skills, she provides services that are tailored to meet the needs of each individual client. She truly has a passion and commitment to successfully assisting her clients in having a better quality of life, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Listen to this episode as we learn how to unpack traumatic experiences as a black person in America and why it's important to seek help in order to progress forward. It's a GOOD one y'all!
