In July, the United States of America annually observes Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Established to raise awareness of the unique mental health challenges experienced by racial and ethnic minority communities and to promote equitable access to culturally responsive mental health care.

The observance was originally named after Bebe Moore Campbell, an author and advocate who worked to reduce stigma surrounding mental illness in underserved communities. In 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives designated July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.

Why it matters?

People from minority communities may face barriers to mental health care, including:

Stigma surrounding mental illness
Limited access to culturally competent providers
Financial and insurance challenges
Language barriers
The effects of discrimination, racism, and historical trauma

These factors can contribute to delays in seeking care and disparities in mental health outcomes.

If you are in the United States and are in crisis, you can contact or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support 24/7.
