Meaningful Ways to Embrace Black Mental Health 5th of 5 suggestions

 5. Support.

There have been huge strides within the Black community to destigmatize Black mental health, a task that has not proved to be easy. Therefore, safe spaces and platforms like Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk deserve support. Supporting the importance of Black mental health can come in many forms including using ADAA’s Black Communities page to read and share stories from the community. Whether it’s reading books focused on Black mental health like The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health by Rheeda Walker, PhD, or listening to podcasts like Therapy for Black Girls that highlight mental health experiences in Black communities, there is always a way to show support for Black mental health.
