July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Read More: https://conta.cc/44ZODP5
Fear of judgment, cultural beliefs, generational differences, and lack of access to resources, often prevent people of color from addressing struggles openly and seeking the help they need. To overcome these barriers, it is essential to foster open and honest conversation about mental health. When people who live with a mental health condition share their stories, it can help others feel less alone and reduce shame.

At San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health Center, Inc., we are committed to making our services, as well as our hiring practices, accessible to all persons served in the community, including persons of diverse ethnic backgrounds, cultures, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, and languages.

Maintaining a diverse staff that reflects our community is essential to providing culturally competent support to our clients. Understanding cultural differences leads to better outcomes. Without that, stigma may not be addressed, misdiagnoses can occur, and language differences can become obstacles to care.

If you know someone in need of services, please visit our website.

June is PRIDE MONTH
Read More: https://conta.cc/44fOAOY
Pride Month is a recognition of the identity, dignity, equality, acceptance and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community.

The LGBTQ+ community, especially younger members, faces societal stigma, discrimination, harassment, family rejection, hate crimes, and denial of their civil and human rights.

Inequity harms mental health and LGBTQ+ individuals experience mental health struggles at higher rates than others - especially depression and anxiety disorders. They are also at particular risk for experiencing verbal, mental and physical abuse. This results in higher rates of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and su***de.

Read More to learn what you can do to support the mental health of LGBTQ+ loved ones.

LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. We see you, we support you, and we are inspired by your courage to accept nothing less than full equality.

June 19th is JUNETEENTH
Read More: https://conta.cc/4lhSgXl
Juneteenth has attained mainstream recognition as the official end of slavery in America. It is a symbol of resilience and the ongoing fight for equality and justice. It is imperative that the stories of Black Americans be acknowledged, preserved, and celebrated at the level of validity that they deserve. Black history is American history.

“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible — and there is still so much work to do.”
- Barack Obama

Did you know that 1 in 6 adults has experienced four or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)?

ACEs—like abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction—can have a lasting impact on mental and physical health. But healing is possible, especially when we work together as a community.

We’re holding another ACEs Aware Day today, where we’ll be raising awareness, building resilience, and supporting healing with:
• Community resources
• Wellness activities
• Art & music
• And yes… therapy horses

Let’s break the cycle of trauma and build a healthier future together. Thank you to our amazing community partners and sponsors for making this day special!
