Hello beautiful people! It's Village Mentality Wednesday! Check out this brand new episode.
In this week's episode, I'll be talking about, "How Stigma and Discrimination Impacts Persons with Mental Health Conditions. Stigma can be so powerful that you will go to great lengths to remain silent about how much you are struggling, because you are so fearful that your friends or family will not understand or make you feel even worse than you already do. Over the past few decades, we’ve come a long way in how we view and talk about mental health. And that should come as no surprise, because 1 in 5 adults in the United States lives with a mental health condition. Let's learn together how we can end stigma and effectively support those who live with mental health conditions.
In my segment, "Let's Talk About It," Learn about 9 tips that parents can use to talk with their children about mental health. Also, check out who I will be highlighting for Black History Wednesday. As always, there will be plenty of music too!
