A local nonprofit organization is working towards eradicating the stigma behind mental health within the Black community by providing people with the resources they need.
Mental health experts say that more people are seeking therapy now than ever before. There's just one issue: there aren't enough therapists. One local family therapist is working to solve that issue by using her expertise to provide people with free mental health classes through a non-profit organization that works to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health.
Farida Boyer, Executive Director and Co-founder of The Black Brain Campaign, is a family therapist who's made it her life's mission to emphasize the importance of mental health, especially within the Black community. She even designated October 10 as World Mental Health Day. "We just had our gala, and it was close to 300 people who attended, which was amazing. So, now they can put the word out about mental health and the importance of mental health so that people in our community have the resources and get what they need," said Boyer.
Boyer says the pandemic and the increase in violence across the city has caused a spike in depression and anxiety, especially among people living in areas where mental health resources are scarce and crime is prevalent. Although Boyer says progress has been made, there's still one substantial issue that stands in the way of people getting the help they need and deserve.
