Providence recently published a blog discussing mental health in Black communities and breaking the stigma around finding support.
Dr. Alex Smith, licensed psychologist, and Sherlyn Frank, a licensed clinical social worker at Providence, touch on topics in this blog including the stigma around mental health care for some Black people which keeps them from seeking help, how fostering strong communities and support systems can encourage people to seek the help they need, and that mental health is just as important as physical health.
This blog also shares tips on how to find the right therapist along with a list of resources from local and national organizations.
