This #WorldMentalHealthDay let’s talk about #mentalhealth & racism. Not just because it’s #BlackHistoryMonth, but because it needs to be talked about! Read about how racism affects Black people's mental health, and experiences with mental health services in the images below

CA just became the first state in the nation to mandate the study and development of proposals for reparations.
Our past is one of slavery, racism, and injustice. Our systems were built to oppress people of color.
It’s past time we acknowledge that. latimes.com/california/story…
