Celebrating BIPOC Mental Health Month...To promote and effectively address mental health for all, MHA uses a racial equity and intersectional lens to highlight, better understand, and effectively respond to the range of experiences held by individuals and families with diverse values, beliefs, and sexual orientations, in addition to backgrounds that vary by race, ethnicity, religion, and language. IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY ? A sense of belonging and inclusion in communities is vital for well-being and mental health. BIPOC individuals may frequently feel othered or as if they are tokenized in spaces in which their identities are not embraced or reflected. ? Community safety is more than just physical. Psychological safety consists of inclusion and the safety to learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo. ? Having a sense of community creates a sense of support and belonging, reducing feelings of isolation. ? Community-led spaces are vital sources of belonging that promote overall mental health and wellness. This includes cultural hubs, which are areas of people with a specific cultural background who have come together to live, provide services, or connect with one another. ? Individuals who have strong connections to their communities have better mental health outcomes, including lower rates of suicide, violence, and feelings of isolation. Check out our resources here:
