In honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, the group discusses mental health within the African American community. We took the time to share moments where we dealt with mental health challenges personally, as well as with other people. We also discussed the signs associated with mental health distress, advice for those that may need help and ways that we can continue to encourage conversation surrounding mental health within our communities.
