Podcasts about minority mental health month

July is Minority Mental Health Month, and we wanted to focus this episode specifically on 2 main mental health topics that are associated with black and brown women as it pertains to obgyn: postpartum depression and menopause. Both of these topics can cause fluctuations in our mental state because of inevitable hormonal changes. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.

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.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves. In recent years there's been no shortage of documentaries, podcasts and articles about cults and the people who lead them. I've been very curious about the psychology behind cults and how members become part of them and wanted to talk with someone to help shed some light on how it tends to happen. Joining me this week is Dr. Ashley Tisdale,  a Postdoctoral Fellow at American University researching the intersection of disability, race, and horror. Dr. Ash is also the author of Cult Community, a newsletter for cult fanatics. She and I chatted about the history of cults, cult leaders, survivors, and victims, the similarities between cults and abusive relationships, and things that may alert you to something being a cult.  Resources Visit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves. The relationship we have with our therapists is unlike any other we have in our lives. They typically know lots about us while we usually only know a little about them. This is designed so that our emotional safety and needs are prioritized in the space but it can also lead to lots of questions that sometimes go unanswered. Joining me today for another one of our group chat conversations are my friends and colleagues Dr. Ayanna Abrams and Dr. Joy Beckwith, both psychologists in Atlanta, to answer some of the questions you might have about your therapist that you didn't want to ask. During our conversation we chatted about whether we actually have favorite or funniest clients, how we handle seeing clients out publicly, what it means if you find yourself attracted to your therapist, and whether or not it's ok to be friends with your therapist after you're done with therapy.  Resources Visit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves. In 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives announced that July would be known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. This resolution would honor her work as an advocate for mental health awareness, particularly in the Black community. The goal for the month is to enhance public awareness of mental illness among minorities.  In keeping with this sentiment and Mrs. Moore's legacy, Therapy for Black Girls takes the opportunity to dig deeper into broadening the conversation around mental health and mental illness each year in July. To kick us off for our month-long commemoration and raise awareness, we've created an oral history detailing the creation of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.  In this week's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Linda Wharton-Boyd, the convener of the Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Awareness Task Force, and Albert R. Wynn, a former U.S. House of Representatives member. Dr. Boyd and Congressman Wynn were instrumental in creating Minority Mental Health Awareness Month after Bebe Moore Campbell's passing in 2006. Our conversation explores the process of bringing Minority Mental Health Awareness Month to life, the impact Minority Mental Health Awareness Month has had over the years, and Bebe Moore Campbell's continued legacy.

Welcome back to BeREAL! This week, Diana and Ednesha are finishing their conversation about In Treatment on HBO by discussing parent/teen/therapists relationships, therapy for therapists, and loneliness during quarantine. The two begin the episode by outlining the remaining characters to be discussed. Laila is a high school student struggling with her sexuality. Rita is Brooke's AA sponsor for her alcoholism. Adam is Brooke's current partner.    When discussing Laila and her struggles as a teen in high school, Ednesha brings up the dynamic of teens in therapy and their parents. Unless the minor is in immediate danger, the patient can expect therapist confidentiality for what is said during their sessions. However, the therapists talk about the option teens have, which is letting their parent sit in on a session if the teen feels comfortable and wants to discuss a specific topic with a therapist present.    The conversation about Leila also leads to a discussion about how upbringing affects one's view of themself. Laila has been brought up being told she is “spoiled” and believing she has not been affected by the traumas that other Black Americans speak on due to her class status. However, Diana and Ednesha dig into the circumstances surrounding her family to find that racism has played a part in her upbringing regardless of what Laila believes.    After a short break, Diana and Ednesha return to discuss how the show portrays the life of Brooke outside of sessions. Ednesha says that one benefit of social media is that patients can look up their clinician and see that they are real people who exist outside of the office as well. This is especially beneficial during the pandemic because therapy/the relationship with a therapist may be the most constant and consistent thing in the patient's life due to the chaos of COVID.   Lastly, they tackle the conversation of Brooke's alcoholism. Because she does not seek therapeutic help for her drinking problems, Brooke sometimes falls out of her role as a clinician and lashes out in sessions with her patients. This helps debunk the myth that therapists should be able to treat themselves, and that they have all their answers for their own problems, by showcasing the issues that arise when therapists are not in therapy themselves.    Thank you for tuning into BeREAL this week. Be on the lookout for an all new episode next Tuesday. In the meantime, make sure you catch last week's episode on Minority Mental Health Month.   For more information on BeREAL (our mental wellness podcast), BeWELL (our therapy practice in New York City and Hoboken, NJ), or any of these amazing clinicians visit the links below:   To schedule a therapy appointment text BeWELL to 484848 today    www.beher-now.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Be.WELL.Psychotherapy/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewell.psychotherapy/

Welcome back to BeREAL! This week, Ednesha is continuing her conversation with the BeWELL team about Minority Mental Health Month. Joining her once again is Dr. Victoria Rodriguez, Suhailey Núñez, Divya Robin, Teanika Chamberlain, and Tamika Covington. The conversation picks up where last week's episode ended: about police involvement in mental health emergency calls. The women discuss how it feels to be BIPOC in a space that is not affirming of their identity. This does not mean that they want to be surrounded solely by those from a similar background. Instead, it means they feel comfortable in spaces where they do not have to explain culture, slang, etc. This comfort diminishes when police become involved. Ednesha retells times when she had to bar police from going into her office when she made mental health emergency calls about her patients. She would also escort them to the ambulance if need be, never leaving them alone in a space that was not culturally competent.    Divya changes the conversation by discussing how therapy should not be seen as a last resort. This originates from the ‘tough it out' mindset that was discussed in last week's episode. Tamika discusses how mental health challenges are inevitable in one's life, so why not start therapy right now before they strike versus after. The women discuss how preventative care is emphasized in medical care, so it should be just as important in mental health care.   To close off the episode, the women begin discussing the finances involved in mental health treatment. Ednesha brings up how there should be financial incentives to enroll in social work school after the pandemic due to the influx of mental health issues. She brings up her own student debt and how it is hard to live off a therapist's salary in a place as expensive as New York City. She also discusses the challenges that come with putting a price tag on your services. Many therapists question if their services are worth enough money, and if there are people who are actually willing to pay. Ednesha assures clinicians of color that there are patients who wants to see them, because their work is so important.    Thank you for tuning into BeREAL this week. Be on the lookout for an all new episode next week. In the meantime, make sure to tune into last week's episode which included even more discussion of Minority Mental Health month.    For more information on BeREAL (our mental wellness podcast), BeWELL (our therapy practice in New York City and Hoboken, NJ), or any of these amazing clinicians visit the links below:   To schedule a therapy appointment text BeWELL to 484848 today    www.beher-now.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Be.WELL.Psychotherapy/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewell.psychotherapy/

Guess who's back! July is Minority Mental Health Month, and baby, the mental health has been mental healthing. But after a hiatus, Mommy is back with a few bad words as she's joined by @chucktheworld_ and friend of the show "agent M" to discuss turning your trolling finsta into a page for your newborn baby, getting thrown of planes for changing your baby's diapers and the logistics of going back to the man who cheated on you with crack. Between lessons in what exactly fatherhood is supposed to be and learning to love black women, you can definitely say, I'm back and I'm better.

Welcome back to BeREAL! This week, Ednesha is joined by some other members of the BeWELL team to discuss the importance of Minority Mental Health Month. Joining her is Dr. Victoria Rodriguez, Suhailey Núñez, Divya Robin, Teanika Chamberlain, and Tamika Covington. Victoria starts off the episode by talking about why it is important to acknowledge Minority Mental Health Month. She says that there are many minority communities that don't discuss mental health needs for a variety of reasons. Tamika adds that having a whole month to highlight minority mental health care is better than having a single day because it sustains focus on the topic and shows that this is not a trend by a long conversation that must be had. Divya chimes in to bring up the fact that there is a general Mental Health Month in May. However, during that month everything is talked about in blanket terms that don't address the specific needs that minority communities face to gain access to mental health resources.    Teanika shifts the conversation to talk about women of color specifically. She notes that many people in her life associate a woman in therapy with craziness or illness. Ednesha adds on that when she talks to members of her community about her work, they are often surprised by what she does and that therapy is for everyone. This is also why she urges medical doctors to refer their patients to mental health treatment facilities when their physical illnesses could have underlying mental causes. She believes people are more likely to take up the referral if done by a doctor.    After a short break, the women return to discuss if mental health resources are harder to access for than the average person. Divya says that as a child of immigrants, there is a guilt that is brought into the therapy room when seeking mental health care. This is because the mental health resources were not available to their parents. The women also discuss the mindset many were raised with of “what happens in the family stays in the family.” They also address the idea that therapy is thought of as a treatment for white people, it is extremely costly, and state sanctioned mental health care can lead to more distress. For example, some mental health calls to authorities are answered by police officers, which causes more stress for patients of color.    Thank you for tuning into the first part of this conversation on Minority Mental Health Month. Be on the lookout for the second part dropping next Tuesday. In the meantime, make sure to check out last week's episode about In Treatment on HBO.   For more information on BeREAL (our mental wellness podcast), BeWELL (our psychotherapy office in New York City and Hoboken, NJ), or any of these amazing clinicians visit the links below:   To schedule a therapy appointment text BeWELL to 484848 today    www.beher-now.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Be.WELL.Psychotherapy/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewell.psychotherapy/  

It's been a while and we're here with a brand new episode! Apologies for the absence, life happened with work and trying to get my things in order as i'm sure is the case with everybody else. I give a brief update of what i've been up to (Wimbledon - Tennis & Silverstone - F1) and also announcements of what i've got coming up (Speaking on Asian Careers Panel - Bam n Beyond twitch stream, asian creative live event in September for ESEA Month UK).  It's Minority Mental Health Month and we're talking about the topic of mental health with Florence who is a therapist from HK that works for the NHS. We met on clubhouse and instantly admired her for everything that she does. Outside of her day job she held rooms with a friend of hers and provided therapy sessions and talk mental health with people that joined the rooms. She does all this whilst working in the mental health space for the NHS so UK hours whilst she is living in HK. As we know, in the asian community, even though it's come a long way in wider acceptance and being normalised, it's still considered a taboo subject that many avoid or are sceptical of. It's a very important and sensitive topic that requires a lot of care and at times professionalism so Florence is here to provide just that.We talk about how she got into her profession, mental health in asian culture & HK, how she deals with stress, help services available from the NHS, checking up on friends and advice on dealing with mental health and taking related leave in the workplace. Also, for those with very busy lives, I learnt a surprising tip on how to reduce such personal pressures.NHS Help Services:Primary Mental healthcare - Common problems e.g stress, relationship breakdowns, anxietySecondary Mental healthcare - Emotional and increased problems such as seeing things, eating disordersSamaritans & 111 line - Personal safety e.g suicidal problems, feeling low and don't feel safe by yourself999 and A&E - Crisis lines with trained personnel to helpNHS websites and apps - worries, self harm, self helphttps://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/----------------------------------------------------------------------------Contact: FlorenceInstagram: @your.choyce https://www.instagram.com/your.choyce/  Contact: Crazy Brit Asian  Instagram: @crazybritasian  https://www.instagram.com/crazybritasian/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crazybritasian/  Email: crazybritasian@gmail.com

  This week on BeREAL, Diana and Ednesha are joined by Jessica Perez to continue the discussion on Minority Mental Health Month. Jessica is here to discuss the mental health counseling experience of the Latinx community.    Jessica B Perez, Latina from North Philadelphia. Jessica received her  MSW in NYC where she started her career in Social work working with families from Lower East side Manhattan and Bedsty Brooklyn. Jessica moved back to Philadelphia,PA to continue her work in the predominantly Latinx/Hispanic community by managing an at-risk youth program funded by the city of Philadelphia providing supportive and therapy services. In addition, she continued to provide individual and family therapy through mobile services. Currently, she is a Licensed School Social Worker in Camden Nj working with Latinx/Hispanic and Black children in the Charter School system. Jessica is committed to the practice as a school social worker and works with children and families as a certified trauma clinician. She is passionate about her K-8th grade students and contributing to designing and implementing systems within the school system and community to promote mental health and link resources to overcome barriers which limit the success of disadvantaged families.   Jessica begins the episode by answering a few questions from Ednesha. Ednesha is interested in knowing what it is like to work in a therapy practice in Camden, NJ, which was once deemed the most dangerous city in the state. Jessica explains how many social work initiatives by the local government have helped re-envision Camden in a new, prosperous light. She tells of her own experience as a school counselor in the area, and the change she witnessed in her students/patients.    The conversation then shifts to focus on the Latinx community and mental health. Jessica elaborates on the different barriers that deter Latinx people from seeking therapy. One issue she highlights is the fear of deportation. The fear that federal institutions, such as ICE, have instilled in Jessica's community has created a mentality that they must solve all their issues on their own, because seeking help may lead to catastrophic consequences.    Jessica then offers advice for non-Latinx therapists on how to create a safe space for Latinx clients. An overarching theme in her advice is diversification. The mental health field needs to diversify in multiple ways; more practices must hire Latinx clinicians, more therapists must speak a Latinx language, and more therapists must have knowledges of the great diversity within the term “Latinx.” The label “Latinx” does not refer to one culture or people, but numerous different communities that have their own beliefs, values, and customs.    Your hosts finish off the episode by examining the possible mental health implications of online learning in Fall 2020, due to COVID-19. They offer advice on what parents and teachers should look out for, and ways to make online learning exist within an environment that promotes positive mental health.    Thank you so much for tuning into BeREAL this week! We look forward to having you with us next week, but in the meantime, remember to catch last week's episode on Black men and mental health if you haven't already.    To find out more information on Jessica visit the link below:   Instagram: @Ms.perez_socialworklove   For more information on The BeREAL Podcast and BeWELL Psychotherapy visit the links below.    To schedule an appointment text BeWELL to 484848 today    www.beher-now.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Be.WELL.Psychotherapy/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewell.psychotherapy/

    This week on BeREAL, Diana and Ednehsa are joined by Carrie Zhang. This episode is continuing on the theme of Minority Mental Health Month from last week, and Carrie is here to discuss Pan-Asian mental health.    Carrie Zhang is the founder of the Asian Mental Health Project, an initiative that aims to educate and empower Pan-Asian communities in making mental healthcare more accessible. Founded in 2019, the project currently uses social media, multimedia content creation and community events to de-stigmatize topics of mental health, critical social issues and provide tangible resources. Carrie is a graduate from the University of Southern California, with a B.A. in Public Relations and a minor in Music Industry.    Carrie begins the episode by discussing her past and how it led her to seek mental health treatment. She discusses the many stigmas that are present in the Pan-Asian community that made her hesitant to seek treatment at first. She points to the lack of discussion around therapy in the Pan-Asian community, and how there is a prevalent idea that you must push through issues on your own. She also points out other characteristics of therapy that make it even harder for the Pan-Asian community to overcome the highlighted stigmas, such as cost.    Carrie offers a few tips for non-Asian therapists to be more culturally competent when treating the Pan-Asian community. The most important idea she put forward is to strike down the idea of the model minority. The idea of the model minority stereotypes non-white commuities in a way that may not be deemed harmful at first glance, but in reality harms the community in a variety of ways. One of those ways is that often mental health practitioners will assume they know the root of an issue before discussing it with the patient, which could direct attention away from the real issue at hand.    Finally, Carrie discusses the project she has recently started up to build a more culturally competent field of mental health clinicians and therapists, and what she hopes to see from it in the future.   Thank you so much for joining us this week on BeREAL! Stay tuned for an all new episode next Tuesday.

Showing up shouldn't be hard; but sometimes it really does.Short but sweet I showed up.It's kind of ironic that July is Minority Mental Health Month and back in April I designed a whole campaign to spread awareness but none of the content has been released because the past few weeks ! I have had extremely happy moments where I have been on cloud 9 but I have also had days of just trying to keep my shit together. I didn't show up! I didn't show up for my podcast. I didn't show up for my blog. I didn't show up for myself and the things I love. This week is a moment of reflection and accountability because not showing up can't ever be an option again.Let's focus on showing up!This podcast is all about overcoming and becoming unapologetically you in every way possible!I am on a journey to be evenly focused in every aspect of my life and I would love some amazing people to join me on this journey.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month. More conversations must be had in regards to mental health in minority communities. Do not be afraid to speak up about your struggles; remove the stigma. Every single person goes through mental health struggles and we need to bring more awareness to minority communities and break down the barriers that prevent those communities from seeking help.  References: https://mhanational.org/BIPOC-mental-health-month https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6546601 https://namiglendale.org/bebe-moore-campbell-national-minority-mental-health-awareness-month/ https://zora.medium.com/bebe-moore-campbell-was-the-champion-for-mental-health-we-need-right-now-d95f63cbd405

  This week on BeREAL, Diana and Ednesha are joined by Brittany Byrd to celebrate Minority Mental Health Month and highlight Black mental health. Brittany Byrd is a #blackmentalhealthadvocate who encourages everyone to take the time to focus on their mental health and wellness while navigating their own personal journey.   The first half of the episode covers Brittany's prior experience with the mental health profession. She recalls her first experiences with therapy from when she was nine to when she was in college. Brittany addresses many of the thoughts she had, and that many other Black people have as well, that deterred her from seeking therapy. She explains how these stigmas affected her life, as she believed she had to just “push through” her struggles.    The second half of the episode is spent discussing Black mental health practices in the present day. Brittany elaborates on her role as a Black mental health advocate and her experiences with virtual therapy due to the pandemic. Ednesha adds to the discussion by pointing out some of the differences she has noticed between in-person therapy and virtual sessions that were not as noticeable immediately after the pandemic hit. The episode concludes with a discussion of what self care looks like, and how it is not always a negative thing to spend time and energy on yourself.    Thank you for joining us this week on BeREAL. Be on the lookout for an all new episode next Tuesday.

The month of July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month. The acronym stands for Black, Indigenous and People of Color. The goal is to bring attention to the trauma that stems from systemic oppression and racism that impacts communities of color. Trauma is connected to mental health on so many different levels. It comes both from present-day and historical occurrences. Subconsciously, BIPOC communities have been taught to devalue their mental faculties, and question their beauty and intelligence. In this episode of Financial Fridays, we explore this as an opportunity to also speak about how resilient BIPOC communities are. Coach Colette offers suggestions to engage in self-care therapy, like EFT-Tapping and other avenues of therapy, that can help people to express the negative realities of white supremacy, and heal personal and historical trauma. “When we finally stop asking America to love us and begin to love ourselves, we will prosper as a people.” This quote is by journalist and best-selling author, Bebe Moore Campbell, for whom this month was dedicated in 2008. Moore was an advocate for mental health who encapsulated the ideologies of self-love and self-care. Originally, it was called Minority Mental Health Month. That connotation conjures up negative images of lack and scarcity. When you love yourself FIRST, it steams rolls your confidence and grounds you. Your feet become roots into the Earth, and you can compare yourself to an allegorical tree. You may sway and bend; but it is going to take a strong gust of wind to snap or break you. In the Unplugged segment, Coach Colette suggests we concentrate on abundance and resilience, so we can stand strong as a collective and see ourselves in a positive light. This will help us to bring light and joy to one another. If you enjoyed this episode, why not share it on Instagram and tag @coach_colette!

  Divya is back this week on BeREAL! She joins Diana and Ednesha in talking about Minority Mental Health Month. The episode covers a wide range of issues pertaining to minorities seeking therapy treatment, from wealth to cultural stigmas and all things in between.    The episode begins with the ladies discussing their quarantine situations, and what they plan on doing once restrictions are loosened. After the introductions, the clinicians get into the topic of how to train culturally competent therapists. Ednesha brings up the fact that therapy is not “one size fits all,” yet most treatment models are centered around white patients. She explains the implications of the lack of attention given to minorities in therapy research, and how it deters some people who could really benefit from engaging with a therapy practice.    Divya brings up the topic of how therapy is set in a white western industrialized environment and doesn't pay attention to nuances of different cultures. These differences can be as small as showing respect by responding to personal questions from a client to as drastic as not accounting for the different lived experiences across different cultures.   Diana believes it is important during Minority Mental Health Month to acknowledge the various reasons why minorities may be hesitant to seek therapy. There are cultural barriers that may need to be overcome, but there are also many issues with the medical field itself that discourage possible patients. Some of these are wealth and the lack of diversity across therapy practices.    The episode concludes with your hosts answering some light-hearted questions from the BeREAL producer, Don. They take a dive into their pasts as they divulge some of their worst fashion trends and their childhood celebrity crushes.    Thank you so much for tuning into BeREAL this week.

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Special guest Monica E. Jackson, Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and owner of iWin Counseling joins host Michelle Lenae on the podcast to bring awareness to Minority Mental Health Awareness month. Monica discusses how mental health impacts communities of color in this episode, especially African American men and women.

In recognition of Minority Mental Health Month, we continue examining issues affecting African Americans and their mental well-being – or the lack thereof. In February 2016, 23-year-old Black Lives Matter activist MarShawn McCarrel took his own life on the step of the Columbus, Ohio courthouse steps. This March, the body of another social activist, 29-year-old Amber Evans, was found in a Columbus river, and her death was also ruled a suicide. JoAnne Viviano, Health Reporter for The Columbus Dispatch joins us this week to discuss the toll that fighting for social justice can take on the mental health of activists like McCarrel and Evans. The activists she interviewed for her piece in the Dispatch cited long workweeks, encountering widespread racism, vicariously transferring traumas, and unrealistic expectations of fellow activists as some of the factors that adversely affect their mental health – and have necessitated a shift in how their community looks after one another in a commitment to a healing process. Then, we shine the spotlight on a small Texas college named Paul Quinn College that is so committed to the mental well-being of its students that it offers and encourages every incoming student to meet with a counselor to have their needs assessed, at a free on-site mental health clinic. Eva-Marie Ayala, staff reporter for The Dallas News, tells us how this tiny HBCU, which prides itself on recruiting at-risk students, promotes health and wellness throughout its campus.

July is Minority Mental Health Month and for this very special episode we are interviewing Imade. Imade is a mental health advocate who uses her own journey dealing with her diagnoses to be a voice for those who don't often have the opportunity to share their stories. She runs the Depressed While Black Twitter account and can be counted on to share an unfiltered view of what it is like to live in this country as a person of color dealing with mental illness.

Because July is Minority Mental Health Month, we’re dedicating this entire episode to discussing the mental health and wellness of black kids and adults. Our first guests this week are Aaron Hunt, a clinical psychology doctorate student and co-author of “Depression in Black Boys Begins Earlier Than You Think,” and his partner Lee Dukes, a special education teacher and a second-year Master of Education student. They join us to discuss suicide and depression in black boys, how the school system is complicit in creating and fostering poor mental health, and what it will take to turn this trend around. Later, therapist Brittany Johnson join us to discuss how poverty, race and unresolved childhood traumas are leading more black adults to seek therapy. She credits Millennials with breaking the stigma around mental health and therapy. Johnson, author of the self-published book "Get Out of Your Own Way: 21 Days to Stop Self Sabotage,” shares tips on recognizing and conquering anxiety. In Juicy Fruit, we salute chart topping crossover rapper Lil Nas X, who recently publicly confirmed that that he’s a gay man, and we celebrate black and queer mermaids everywhere.
