Black people have worse experiences of mental health than white people but are less likely to get the help they need.

 

 

In this episode, I'm joined by Minowa from Black Minds Matter, a charity that connects black individuals and families with free mental health services. They have provided over 1500 black people courses of free therapy in the last 12 months.

 

 

Minowa and I discuss the multiple issues black men face regarding mental health, getting the help they need and breaking down the taboos in black communities about mental health.

 

 

In this episode, you hear our personal experience with mental health, the unseen issues that mental health issues can cause in relationships and how to stay in top mental health. 

 

 

The tips and advice are invaluable to people of all genders and races.
