In BIPOC communities, talking about mental health can be considered taboo. You may hear certain messages that you should be able to “suck it up” and “deal with your problems on your own.” Some of these messages come from a place of genuine fear because BIPOC populations have historically been harmed by the mental health and health care systems. In honor of Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we remind you that sharing your experiences with your community helps others feel less alone and reduces shame around mental health.

In Latine and Hispanic communities, mental health is often a stigmatized topic. This stigma and the challenges that come with immigration, adapting to U.S. culture, and generational trauma may make it harder for someone to maintain their mental well-being. As part of our celebration of Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July, we’ve added new resources for BIPOC communities to our website.

Communities of Arab descent are a growing population in the U.S. and come from diverse backgrounds and belief systems. However, research on Arab American mental health is limited and does not include an overall number of Arab Americans with mental health conditions. As part of our celebration of Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July, we’ve added new resources for BIPOC communities to our website. This month and every month, Mental Health America will continue to advocate for greater research and support of mental health in Arab communities.
