LET'S TALK MENTAL HEALTH IN COLOR
As mental health challenges increasingly affect youths in “Black and Brown” communities, access to culturally competent care remains inadequate. “LET’S TALK: Mental Health in Color” is a compilation of a documentary series that delves into the overlooked childhood disruptions impacting the mental well-being of “BLACK AND BROWN” children. Focused on the enduring consequences stemming from socio-political and economic disparities, the series aims to tackle the urgent need for early interventions and a shift in narrative. It seeks to redefine mental health perceptions, reducing too long normalized stigmas and judgments and advocating for a direct confrontation with past and present systemic and social policies.
Hosted by “America’s Psychiatrist,” Dr. Jeff Gardere, the inaugural episode of the series is a compilation that explores the diverse effects of various unaddressed mental health challenges stemming from direct and indirect childhood experiences in “black and brown” communities. “LET’S TALK: Mental Health in Color” underscores that mental health issues and care are complex, necessitating community-based solutions. It issues a global call to action, urging open conversations and strategic solutions that address the unique challenges in full color, recognizing that they are not simply black and white.
