Did You Know?
According to the National Library of Medicine, African American women not only have significantly increased health risk with limited options for resources, but according to the National Institutes of Health, In 2017, young adults aged 78-25 years had the highest prevalence of mental illness followed by adults aged 26-49 years of age.
Why Is Minds Matter So Important?
Racism continues to have an impact on the mental health of Black/African Americans. Negative stereotypes and attitudes of rejection have decreased, but continue to occur with measurable, adverse consequences.
- Black/African Americans living below poverty are three times more likely to report serious psychological distress than those living above poverty.
- Adult Black/African Americans are more likely to have feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness than are adult whites.
- Black/African Americans hold beliefs related to stigma, psychological openness, and help-seeking, which in turn affects their coping behaviors.
“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
