Let's Talk About Mental Health and Wellness
Mental Health? Wellness? Mental Illness? Do you ever feel like all of these terms are just too confusing? Find out more about your thoughts and feelings in simple terms.
Columbia University and The New York Public Library have launched a public health initiative-in partnership with the National Black Leadership Commission on Health (Black Health)-to bring free education and resources to New York City residents who face lack of access and cultural barriers to behavioral health care.
The Community Mental Health Project, supported by the Leon Levy Foundation, aims to reduce the distress and trauma in the city’s racially and ethnically diverse communities that have borne the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initiative consist of series of animated videos focusing on mental health wellness and self-care. The first two videos of 10 planned for the series. The topics address mental health concerns identified in discussions with community members, ranging from mental illness and addiction to stigma in seeking treatment and care.
Note: Resources based on input from teens, young adults, and seniors in neighborhoods significantly impacted by health disparities and the pandemic.

I received thorough care from Sovereign Health, who did not spare any effort. They provided educational courses, group activities, and wellness classes in addition to therapy sessions to promote personal development and self-discovery. Mental health is deeply personal and treatment needs to be tailored to the individual.
As a white person browsing KZread videos based on mental health because I'm going through some personal stuff, right now, this was one of the first videos I saw & it's helping me out, a lot. Thanks...

Mental illness is taboo in the black community, we don't want to talk about it or deal with it, or believe that black people don't have these struggles. But we do, we struggle in silence. Society often times, think that blacks don't suffer from mental illness as well. Our community does not take care of ourselves as well as we should mentally, and some of that has to do with systems set up. This video is an attempt to reach out to the black community and let them know we are not alone. This is no different than organizations that reach out to people who suffer other aliments and conditions, does that mean they are not empathetic to someone who may suffer from something else? Do we attack other groups or organizations that support or make awareness to causes their community suffers from? No for that moment you are compassionate, and you relate to them as human. Please do the same for our community as organizations like this ( and there are countless others) work towards positive changes in the Black community.
Please don't make everything about race. God knows every single one of us by name.
This is racially motivated where r the Indian ppl in the video is it cuz we’re brown tf like wtf
