Mental Wellness in the Black Community

February 4, 2022

During Black History Month, the Members Education and Network for Dependency (“MEND”) program joins The National Alliance on Mental Illness (“NAMI”) to address mental wellness within Black communities.

Sharing Hope is NAMI’s three-part video series that explores mental wellness among Black youth, families, and communities. You can view the videos on NAMI’s website at https://nami.org/Support-Education/Mental-Health-Education/NAMI-Sharing-Hope-Mental-Wellness-in-the-Black-Community.

If you are struggling to manage your emotional health, reach out for support. You are not alone!
