Black mental health: A journey of self-preservation | Mental Health America
When assessing Black mental health, it is essential to recognize the impact of deep-rooted historical and systemic factors, including racism. The history of Black people in America began with being stripped from everything familiar to them, including family, land, weather, quality of life, language, ceremonies, food, and freedom. Ironically, these are also some of the key components to healing that providers may assess and collaborate with clients to incorporate, when treating mental health through a cultural lens.
