National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month July marks National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month - a critical time to highlight the unique mental health challenges that are faced by racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States. Bebe Moor Campbell is an author, journalist, and mental health advocate who, almost 20 years ago, wanted to end the stigma surrounding mental health and provide support especially those in minority communities. This month brings attention to the inequities and stigma that often prevent marginalized groups from receiving adequate mental health care.
WHY IT MATTERS
Mental health affects everyone—but access, treatment, and outcomes are not equal. Research shows that Black, Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic, and other marginalized communities often experience: Limited access to culturally competent care Higher rates of being misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed Language barriers Discrimination and stigma around mental health topics
By recognizing these disparities, we can work together to break down barriers and foster healing in every community. What You Can Do Being involved is important. See below for some things that you can do: Listen & Learn: Attend events, read personal stories, and explore cultural perspectives on mental health Support Local Efforts: Volunteer, donate, or amplify organizations that serve minority mental health needs Check-In: Mental health check-ins with friends or colleagues can go a long way Researching & Sharing Resources: Knowing what mental health resources are available for minorities and being able to share this information with others helps raises awareness and may lead someone to seeking help Help Reduce Stigma: Talking openly about mental health can help change mindsets and encourage more people to seek help Highlighting Community Strength: Many communities have long-standing traditions of resilience, healing, and connection. Honoring these cultural practices can be powerful in mental health promotion
Resources See below for some resources that are available now and can help provide you or someone you know with HOPE:

More episodes of Dr. Frey’s podcast, Mental Health Without Borders: The Global Wellness Podcast, were released in June! On June 12 we virtually traveled to Brazil, featuring Dr. Sonia Ferreira, a clinical psychologist and family counselor based in Brazil. This episode is filled with heart, wisdom, and a beautiful reminder of what unites us across cultures. Mental health is seen globally across all cultures. Dr. Ferreira opened up about the beauty and challenge of working with clients from around the world and how she approaches each session with openness, humility, a learning spirit, and cultural sensitivity. On June 26, Dr. Frey took us to Italy where she had candid conversations with Camilla Gamba, a therapist from Italy. Camilla shared her brilliant insights on why nature is a necessity for our mental well-being, and not just a luxury. Dr. Frey and Camilla discussed what it truly means to reconnect with nature and its healing power. She also provided insights about ecopsychology. An episode you truly don’t want to miss! Make sure to subscribe as our next travel destination is…. Denmark! Click HERE to subscribe and listen to previous episodes!
