July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! 💜

This awareness month serves as such a crucial and critical reminder that minority mental health matters and deserves so much more attention and access in our society. BIPOC and minority youth withstand challenges and pressures put on them that are deeply rooted in injustice, and lead to mental health outcomes that reflect the pain that this causes. 💙

Today we are highlighting quotes from important BIPOC mental health advocates who are fighting to make it clear that culturally competent care is life saving. YouthLine believes that every single youth deserves to feel heard, supported, and cared for. Let's continue to make that mission clear by uplifting BIPOC and minority voices in the mental health space! 🧡
