Minority Mental Health Month 2020.mp4

July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Month. While mental health conditions do not discriminate based on race, color, gender or identity, these factors can make access to mental health treatment much more difficult. The City of Alexandria encourages residents to learn more about these challenges, the stigma of mental illness, online mental health resources for people in these groups and how to advocate for equity in mental health access and treatment. #NotAlone #MinorityMentalHealth #MMHM www.alexandriava.gov/dchs/info/DCHSConnectInfo.aspx?id=116577
