Many people from racial and ethnic minority groups have difficulty getting mental health care. This can be due to many different reasons, such as cost or not having adequate health insurance coverage or even concerns that getting help may be perceived as being weak. It may also be challenging to find providers from one’s racial or ethnic group. Stigma or negative ideas about mental health care may also prevent people from seeking services. Other things in our environment can impact mental health and emotional well-being. At VJLAP, we understand the barriers to treatment and strive to be a resource for those in need. Let’s work together to break down stigmas, raise awareness, and support mental wellness for everyone. 💙 #MinorityMentalHealthMonth

Approximately half of all self-employed people have experienced poor mental health within the past 12 months - 22% worse than the national average.* Simply Business, one of the UK's largest insurance providers for small businesses, has partnered with Mental Health at Work, a programme curated by leading mental health charity Mind, to conduct the research for the second year running. Results from the survey of 519 micro-business owners (1-9 employees) and self-employed people showed marginal improvement in areas, including reduced stigma around mental health issues and increased understanding of resources, but paints an overall concerning picture. https://buff.ly/4bPwGES
