Starting tomorrow, for the month of July, we bring awareness to the mental health challenges minority populations face (BIPOC) - including but not limited to stigma, limited treatment access, and a lack of health insurance.
According to a 2020 study, less than 1 in 2 African Americans adults obtained care for mental health concerns (FDA, 2024).
As of 2018, Asian Americans were 60% less likely to receive MH treatment than non-hispanic whites.
These are only a fraction of the percentages demonstrating the absence of mental health treatment amongst minority groups.
Awareness is the first step to change. 🦋
