Mental Health Matters: Addressing racial disparities in mental health care
July was Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Greater Corpus Christi held an international potluck dinner and planned for open and honest discussions about minority mental health. I had a list of about 15 questions to start us off/fall back on, but luckily, we didn’t need that list — the conversations flowed organically and were very insightful. We had a variety of people — some were Filipino, and the Latinx community was represented as were African Americans. Many white people were in attendance as well. The group was made up of different generations; there were people in their 30s to 80s. I tell you this because everyone of color who spoke had similar experiences despite their age. They had been exposed to racism and bullied for being different. One woman was bullied within her own race because she didn’t speak the language of her people (she moved to the U.S. when she was very young). One woman experienced racism from a man she had previously dated. When it came to mental health, some agreed it was hard to find a good provider. One person said she’d like to find someone who knows her background
