About this listen

Diminished access to mental health care is one of the many ways systemic racism has affected the Black community — but things are starting to change. “Mental illness is a pervasive issue in the African American community, with many negative social and economic impacts,” explains Owoo. She states that factors driving mental health disparities among African Americans include:

distrust of the medical system
institutionalized racism and oppression
trauma caused by racism and violence
healthcare inequities
lack of access to quality mental health care
cultural competency gaps among providers
the lack of diverse mental health professionals
the common stigma of seeking help within the Black community
