Adejoke Adedeji, owner of Nexus of Hope, started the psychiatric clinic after a personal experience with mental illness. Now, she serves as a vital resource for Minnesota Nigerians and other people of color seeking culturally inclusive mental health care.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, people of color are less likely to receive mental health services compared to those who are white. In 2021, only 39.4 percent of Black or African Americans with mental illness accessed treatment, compared to 47.2 percent of all U.S. adults.

“I did not intend to fall in love with nursing. I thought I would use the nursing profession to help give me stability and I would continue with creativity on the side.”

Adedeji had a personal understanding of the impact of mental illness. “I lost my 15-year-old cousin to su***de in May of 2010,” she said. This experience was devastating to her family. Then, just a few months later, her youngest brother died suddenly from a heart defect.

The way the outside world reacted to each loss illustrated the real need for culturally informed mental health support.

Read more on how Nexus of Hope's founder, Adejoke Adedeji’s own experience with deaths in her family pointed to a clear need for more understanding in the Nigerian community about mental illness and its treatments.

📢 New Blog Post Alert! 📚✨

Mental illness knows no boundaries—it affects people of all ages, races, genders, religions, and sexual identities. Understanding and raising awareness about mental health is crucial year-round, but this July, we shine a spotlight on an important aspect: Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.

🌟 Minority Mental Health Matters 🌟

Experts concur that members of the black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns at rates similar to white Americans. However, minority mental health issues can be much more complex due to trauma, violence, oppression, and historical dehumanization experienced by these communities.

💔 Addressing the Unaddressed 💔

It's heartrending to acknowledge, but as a society, we must face minority mental health concerns head-on. We need to understand the prevalence of these issues, identify who is receiving the necessary help, explore the barriers preventing others from seeking assistance, and analyze the reasons behind it all.

🤝 Let's Make a Difference 🤝

This Minority Mental Health Month, we are committed to shedding light on these unfortunately unaddressed issues. It's time to shift our thinking, redirect our focus, and take meaningful actions to bridge the gaps in mental health care.

🌈 Together, We Can Make Change Happen 🌈
