In this episode, we explore the critical intersection of mental health and race, shedding light on the profound implications of systemic racism on mental well-being. Honoring Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we trace the origins of this observance back to the relentless advocacy of Bebe Moore Campbell. 

Joined by guests Itzel Moya and SJ Hazim, the discussion navigates through the experiences of minorities facing mental health challenges in Kansas, exploring cultural stigmas, systemic barriers, and personal narratives that highlight the urgent need for inclusivity and understanding in mental health care. Join us and together we can amplify voices from the community, offering insights and fostering a deeper conversation about mental health equity.
