BIPOC Mental Health Matters

Observed each July and originally designated as?National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, BIPOC Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges and needs of historically disenfranchised or oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Black and Indigenous people and other people of color (BIPOC) experience a broad spectrum of ongoing discrimination, oppression, and inequity rooted in America’s colonialist history, all of which foster both collective and individual trauma in those communities.
Pittsburgh Technical College is proud to support everyone in our community.?We are privileged to have Dr. Stephanie Svilar, Dean of Counseling and Student Development at the helm of our institutions efforts to support, encourage and empower our students to seek help, regardless.?WE have an amazing team of healthcare professionals at PTC, and we want to exemplify the attributes to continue being an institution recognized for an authentic not aspirational culture.
So, if you need help, just ask.?Services are available 24/7.
