15. Mental Health, Black Psychology and the Privilege of Self Care

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we spoke to Dr. Palmer and Dr. Hill about the spectrum of mental health and how the trauma African Americans have historically faced still impact us today. In fact, one study reports that, "African Americans are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the general population", and still, we are the least likely to seek help.

We discuss the different reasons why seeking help may not be considered an option for some Black people (socio-economic background, stigma of therapy, religion, etc.) and dispel some of the common myths and excuses we often make to convince ourselves therapy isn't for us. They urge those of us who need help to reach out and understand that a crisis does not need to occur for you to access help. We also discuss resources that offer discounted services and the rise of "self-care" and how it is perceived to be at the juncture of privilege.

Dr. Palmer and Dr. Hill are co-hosts of Naming it Podcast where they explore the intersections of social justice, psychology and blackness. Be sure to check out their podcast!
