July Is Minority Mental Health Month
|
July was designated as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in 2008 to bring awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face in regard to mental illness across the country.
While the term ‘minority’ is traditionally associated with racial, ethnic, or cultural minorities within the US, Mental Health America (MHA)works to expand this term to include individuals from a wide-range of marginalized and underserved communities, including those who may identify as part of the the LGBTQ+ spectrum, refugee and immigrant groups, religious groups, and others who are often overlooked. Through these efforts, MHA and others aim to shed light on the multitude of mental health experiences within these communities.
Share your story through the #MyStoryMyWay initiative or download the toolkit to learn how you can get involved.
