Your Journey: Black/African American
What happens at the intersection of mental health and one’s experience as a member of the Black diaspora? While the experience of being Black in America varies tremendously, there are shared cultural factors that play a role in defining mental health and supporting well-being, resiliency and healing.
Part of this shared cultural experience—like values, family connections, expression through spirituality or music, reliance on community networks and church—are enriching and can be great sources of strength and support.
