Barbershop Talk with Brothers promotes importance of mental health among Black men
Coming up on Here and Now, we discuss how one local nonprofit organization in Brooklyn is on a mission to promote community health and wellness among Black men.
Black males are 40% less likely than other men to seek mental health treatments, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Barbershop Talk with Brothers initiative is meeting Black men where they are, while encourage them to seek counseling when they need it. More than 100 barbershops in our area are part of the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health outreach program.
Joining us to discuss is Dr. Marilyn Fraser, CEO of the Arthur Ashe Institute for Urban Health, and Jerome Archer, owner of Platinum Cuts unisex salon in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
Also ahead, more on "The Black Family Who Built America," a new book that tells the story of the McKissack family, builders of the nation's largest minority and women-owned design and construction company.
Plus, Black Farmers United New York State on the impact of the Trump tariffs.
