Looking at Attitudes Towards Mental Health in the Black Community - with Brianna Perry

On this week's episode, I sat down with Brianna Perry to discuss and talk about attitudes towards mental health in the black community and discuss why we believe they are the way they are. We talked about why mental health and therapy are perceived as a negative in the black community, where this attitude stems from, and advice for people who don't have the support system they need. Throughout the episode, we used statistics and also personal experiences to discuss this topic and provide our thoughts!
