  • Ep. 1. Mental Health Stigma in the Black Community
    In the first episode of the Black Freud-ish podcast, we’ll discuss the topic of mental health stigma in the black community and the imbalance of African Americans who report mental health concerns in comparison to those who actually receive treatment.  We will confront the stereotype that African Americans do not want to engage in mental health services and address 3 sub-topics for why African Americans may not be engaging in mental health treatments: perception (stigma), systemic racism and cultural humility/cultural sensitivity in mental health, and psychiatric treatments/medications.
