BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month
July is BIPOC (Minority) Mental Health Month!
Each July, we honor the legacy of author, advocate, and trailblazer Bebe Moore Campbell by recognizing Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.
Culture, ethnicity, and race all play a role in how each person experiences the world. These factors, among others, have profound effects on deaf* communities’ mental health, especially for Deaf Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). Visit Mental Health America’s BIPOC Mental Health Resource Center to learn more about the strengths and challenges communities of color face when it comes to mental well-being and mental health care.
