“I was thinking one day, ‘Where can I live or where could I go where #racism won’t hit me in the face as a Black man?’” he said. “I was sitting there like, ‘duh, #Africa.’”

As someone who spent 5 years of my childhood in #Nigeria & 1½ years in #Barbados, I can relate to this.

Studies have been conducted; reports have been generated; and a multitude of policy recommendations have been made."

In the words of one psychologist:
“I have not found any one traditional therapy relevant for Black clients. I have taken bits and pieces from Euro-American therapies and added a considerable amount of cultural knowledge and understanding to enable proper engagement with my Black clients.”

BLACK PSYCHOTHERAPY:
OBSERVATIONS OF BLACK PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS
"In 2023, there has been no significant progress in making psychotherapy relevant for Black clients. Similar to many other policy issues affecting Black communities, these inequities are well-documented; there is more than enough evidence of deep-seated injustices. Thus, moving forward, the focus must be on real, meaningful, tangible change."

As we kick of Black History Month, let's remember that rest is revolutionary, voting matters to our mental health and inequities of all kinds are a threat to our wellbeing. Let's continue to build on the Black legacy of wellness together!

People say there aren't telltale signs, but I've attempted, there are signs, & it takes an "eagle's eye" to assess it. You can find the mental processing, what makes them angry, & leave open-ended questions before 9-8-8. Get to the pros when you can. If you need redirects til you can get to your pros - I'm here.
