Hmmm? - Why is National Minority Mental Health stricken through on this flyer? According to the organizer, Robert Lilly, he hopes to enlighten the world and help reverse the psychological concept that people of color are minorities, or small, in the world. Particularly since people of color make up the majority of the global population. He has reframed National Minority Mental Health Month into a new phraseology called Global Majority Mental Health Awareness Month. Robert Lilly is one of BMHC's patients who has publicly shared his experience with others, promoting the mission of the clinic. He is a BMHC supporter and a community activist with an amazing testimony of recovery after incarceration. He is a member of an organization called Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice (CSSJ). In recognition of the Global Majority Mental Health Awareness Month and as a member of CSSJ, Robert Lilly is organizing a recovery event in partnership with a group called Real Queens Fix Each Others Crowns. Black Men's Health Clinic will provide health resources at this event. The event will be centered on Mental Health, overcoming traumatic experiences with crime, and highlight the need to foster a community that values emotional intelligence. This interactive event will be held from 2 to 5 p.m., on Sunday, July 28th at the African American Cultural and Heritage Facility, located at 912 East 11th Street in Austin. There will be food and refreshments.

We are the ceilings to which others can rise.... Our professional stuck points reflect our personal stuck points. Experiencing healing from the inside out helps to clear these blockages so that we can support others. In Community Care, we believe that "Self-Care" is a term to deflect responsibility from oppressive systems onto those whom the system abuses: social workers, counselors, therapists, etc. We aim to heal within Community. Join us in June to learn about the internalization of the victim, rescuer, and persecutor roles of the Drama Triangle through Kate Hudgin's Trauma Triangle. This clinical map allows us to see internal conflict more clearly, and understand how we might unknowingly engage in projective identification with our clients.

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, an important time to recognize the unique challenges BIPOC communities face due to health access issues, stigma, and exposure to racially charged discrimination or violence. It is important for individuals, and especially organizations, to acknowledge the data and address the social determinants inhibiting access to equitable mental health services. At Vituity, we are dedicated to closing these gaps and we demonstrate our commitment to community impact and social responsibility through partnerships with other healthcare affiliations, as well as our work at the Vituity Cares Foundation to remove access barriers to health and deliver care directly to those who need it most. We know we can't do it alone. Improving lives involves everyone. In honor of National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month take action and join us in diminishing the negative stigmas surrounding mental health, addressing the social determinants that restrict access, and in creating a more equitable world for ALL of us.

We were outraged and saddened to read this article: https://lnkd.in/ejci5Apr While we understand that safety and risk of self-harm needs to be considered regarding all items at inpatient settings, no one should need to prove that their are on their period to have access to sanitary items! A person is likely to be feeling vulnerable on the ward already. The environment not only restrictive, it can also be noisy and chaotic so not exactly conducive to mental health recovery. There is certainly a lack of compassion regarding this situation. 💜 Image description: At the top is the title Period Poverty on Psychiatric Wards: Dignity Denied.

HHS Region 10 hosted OPA for a community discussion on Take Action for Adolescents: A Call to Action for Adolescent Health and Well-Being. Representatives of state and local health care providers and youth-serving organizations joined this community dialogue to emphasize a commitment to supporting young people. They discussed how policies and practices can make it difficult to coordinate efforts and identified mental health as one of the biggest challenges facing young people today. Participants shared: - Ways that their organizations could promote adolescent health and well-being; - The expertise and resources they bring to that effort; - Groups or organizations they want to partner with; and - Perspectives that have historically been missing from the conversation.
