Dialogue around mental health in the Black community specifically is still stigmatized, suicide rates among Black youth continue to rise, and especially in the midst of the “dual pandemic”– of systemic racism and COVID-19 – how are we working to address Black mental health and the various social factors that negatively impact it?
Jardin Dogan, M.Ed., Ed.S. – Ph.D. candidate and creator of @BlkFolxTherapy on Instagram – joins Better to Speak founder Kési Felton to discuss the intersections of racial trauma and mental wellness, with the goal of providing listeners with tangible healthy coping mechanisms to heal and build self-knowledge.
