Mental health matters for everyone, but cultural, systemic, and historical challenges often create unique barriers for BIPOC individuals. This month, let's come together to:

🧠 Raise Awareness: Break the stigma around mental health in our communities. Knowledge is power, and talking about mental health openly can save lives.

🤝 Support Each Other: Reach out to friends, family, and neighbors. A simple conversation can make a world of difference.

💡 Educate and Empower: Learn about the mental health resources available specifically for BIPOC individuals. Share this information to help others access the care they need.

💬 Advocate for Change: Push for more inclusive and culturally competent mental health services. Everyone deserves access to care that respects and understands their unique experiences.

Let's make mental health a priority for everyone! If you or someone you know would like more information about our support groups or counseling services, please call 913-393-4283.

As we celebrate Juneteenth today, we not only recognize the end of slavery in the United States but also reflect on the importance of mental health in the Black community. The journey towards freedom and equality is deeply intertwined with the pursuit of mental and emotional well-being.

According to national details gathered by the American Psychological Association (APA), people from racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely to receive support for mental health challenges.

We recognize the importance of addressing health disparities that disproportionately affect black communities and we are committed to promoting health equity and fostering a culture of inclusivity.

Together, let's promote awareness, provide resources, encourage open communication, and empower black voices in mental health.

We want to give a heart-felt thank you to the women’s ministry group at Second Baptist of Olathe for hosting a women’s brunch for Mental Health Awareness Month at GWH! In honor of this important month, the women who attended wore green, the national color of mental health representing hope, strength, support, encouragement for those who live with a mental illness.

We invite you to make a meaningful statement by wearing green this month, starting intentional conversations with friends and family, and raising awareness through sharing resources and promoting self-care. 💚
