Let’s talk about mental health myths in Black communities.

For generations, many were taught to “be strong,” keep family matters private, or pray the pain away. And while strength and faith are powerful, they’ve sometimes made therapy feel unsafe, unfamiliar, or not meant for people of color.

The truth? Therapy hasn’t always been accessible or culturally affirming—from lack of representation to real histories of mistrust in healthcare systems. But that’s changing.
✨ More Black therapists are entering the field
✨ Culturally responsive care is growing
✨ Conversations about mental wellness are happening openly
✨ More people are realizing that healing isn’t a weakness—it’s a right

Myth: “Therapy is for people who are broken.”
Truth: Therapy is for people who want to grow.

Breaking these myths doesn’t just help individuals, it strengthens families, communities, and generations. Let’s keep the conversation going.

This Black History Month, we honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history—while also recognizing the ongoing impact that inequity and trauma have on mental health.

At the Hoffmann Center, we’re committed to creating safe, supportive spaces where every person is heard, valued, and empowered in their healing journey.

This month, we celebrate, we learn, and we continue the work of building a future where mental wellness is accessible for all.

Happy Black History Month. 🖤

We’re always grateful for the opportunity to share our work with both our community and our professional partners.

In November, we had the privilege of hosting members of Minnesota’s Children’s Cabinet. The group toured our facilities and learned more about our programs and the ways we support children, youth, and families.

Minnesota’s Children’s Cabinet is a collaborative, interagency partnership focused on improving outcomes for children and families by strengthening coordination across state agencies, counties, local communities, and stakeholders. We’re proud to be part of these important conversations and partnerships that move this work forward.

In times of uncertainty and stress, it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. You’re not alone — and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. 💙

Our community is strong because we support one another, listen with compassion, and reach out when things feel heavy. If you or someone you know needs support, help is available and connection matters.

Take care of yourself, check in on each other, and remember: asking for help is a sign of strength.
