4. Learn.
It is never too late to learn about Black mental health pioneers and advocates. Bebe Moore Campbell is a mental health advocate who fought to get Congress to formally recognize National Minority Mental Health Month. Other pioneers like Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller, an African American psychiatrist, who made significant contributions to the study of Alzheimer's disease, have continued to pave the way for people of color within the mental health and wellness industry. Don’t be afraid to research and educate yourself on Black mental health trailblazers. A simple search for Black mental health pioneers can help you learn about the many trailblazers that have been overlooked for far too long.By Tiara Johnson
