#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, celebrated every May, is dedicated to raising awareness about #mentalhealth issues, reducing #stigma, and promoting the importance of #mentalwellbeing. On May 3rd, we held a summit on Maternal and Mental Health for #WomenwithDisabilities, bringing together women from various counties. These women were eager to learn how to continually manage their mental health while being #mothers, and they also shared ideas on how to improve their lives by making their needs more #accessible. This observance plays a crucial role in educating the public, #advocating for policies that support mental health, and encouraging individuals to #seekhelp when needed. #AccessinCrisis #mentalhealthsupport #movementheals #thlepcommunity #disabilityinclusion #MentalHealthAwareness #stigmafree #MentalHealthMatters

Did you know that only 50.6% of U.S. adults with mental illness receive treatment each year? The numbers are even more concerning for Asian American adults. In 2022, just 36.1% of Asian American adults with a mental illness received treatment, making this community the least likely to access mental health care compared to other racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. Language barriers and a lack of culturally appropriate mental health service providers often prevent individuals from getting the care they need. It's crucial to address these disparities to ensure everyone has access to the support they deserve. #MentalHealth #Awareness #HealthcareDisparities #InclusiveCare #CasualtyConsultant #ShadesofMentalHealth #BebeMooreLegacy

Of Course Black Kids' Mental Health Isn't Improving | Since child mental health professionals declared the state of youth mental health a national emergency in 2021, emergency department visits have shown some signs of declining but remain a concern along with drug overdoses and suicide rates. Meanwhile, Black youth have been in crisis for 20 years and there are no signs of improvement. [MedPage Today] The Biden-Harris administration recently announced that over $200 million will be invested in the youth mental health. But with no mention of race, I'm concerned the research and interventions pursued may once again leave Black kids behind.
