The NAHSE Indy Chapter recognizes July as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. 🧠 According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Black Americans are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the general population. They are also less likely to receive mental health treatment — only one in three Black adults who need mental health care receive it compared to 50.5% of white adults. Furthermore, there is a significant disparity in the mental health workforce: while 13.4% of the U.S. population identifies as Black or African American, only 5% of psychologists and 4% of psychiatrists are Black or African American. This underrepresentation limits access to culturally competent care for Black communities. The shortage of Black mental health professionals perpetuates disparities in care, as culturally competent providers are essential for effective treatment outcomes. #MinorityMentalHealthAwareness #NAHSEIndy

🌟Black Healthcare Leader to Know: Antionette Smith Epps 🌟 As we continue our series, we are proud to shine a light on Dr. Antionette Smith Epps, a former board member of NAHSE Indy. Dr. Epps recently took on the role of moderator for the Better Together Collaborate Panel at the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA) Annual Meeting in June. This significant coalition works tirelessly to promote equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice within healthcare, benefiting both patients and professionals. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Epps for her steadfast commitment to advocating for minorities in healthcare! #NAHSE #NAHSEIndy #HealthcareLeadership #HealthEquity #BlackLeadertoKnow
