That’s why in continuation of our Men’s health month series, we will be talking about everything that surrounds the topic of mental health in African-American men. We will be talking not only about the medical aspect of it, but the societal angle of it as well. Tune in as I discuss the reasons why African-American men continue to struggle with mental health and how we as a community could help each other move forward in the positive direction of getting and feeling better. Why you need to check out this episode: -Find out the roots of why men, particularly from the Black community, continue to struggle with mental health despite the availability of help; -Learn the importance of asking and understanding the “why” behind men’s actions and/or reactions toward stressors; and -Realize the significance of having a proper and reliable support system in dealing with your mental health struggles “You have to acknowledge the elephant in the room. You have to acknowledge that there is a stigma that is attached to mental health and black men that we won’t even allow to connect. ” – Dr. Berry Pierre
