Publisher's summary

In African American communities, mental health concerns often simmer silently beneath the surface, eclipsed by societal stigma and historical trauma. The legacy of systemic oppression and racial injustice compounds the challenges, fostering a culture of stoicism where seeking help is viewed as a sign of weakness. Consequently, individuals navigate their struggles alone, burdened by societal expectations and the fear of judgement. This silence perpetuates a cycle of suffering, exacerbating disparities in access to mental health resources and exacerbating conditions like depression and anxiety. Addressing these silent struggles necessitates destigmatizing mental health, fostering open dialogue, and providing culturally competent support systems.
