#BlackHistoryMonth is a time to reflect and explore how race, racism and mental health intersect among Black people in the UK. Black History Month is important because it recognises and celebrates the contributions and experiences of Black people in the UK. It’s an opportunity to: 🔸Raise awareness about the history of Black communities 🔸Combat racism 🔸Promote inclusivity 🔸Inspire positive social change 🔸It serves as a reminder that Black history is an integral part of the UK’s history and culture. But it’s more than a month. We need to think about this every month of the year. If you're struggling and need support, speak to us 💙 #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

An important reminder from our Revelations panellist, Yasmine Jameelah, on taking up space as a Black Youth. She wants Black Youth to know that there's beauty in exploring what you're curious about and discovering what makes you unique and that taking up space as a Black Person can look however you want it to.  . . . . #mentalhealthmatters #blackmentalhealth #blackmentalhealthtips #blackhistorymonth #blackpride #blackmentalhealthmatters #blacklivesmatter #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthresources #aakomaproject

Today marks the beginning of Black History Month! This month we honor and celebrate the achievements, history, and culture of Black Americans who have made significant contributions to society despite facing centuries of discrimination and racism. It is also a time to shine the light on the state of mental health for Black Americans. While not everyone’s experience is the same, there are some commonalities within the Black community that play a role in defining the mental health landscape for Black individuals. Overall, while Black people suffer from mental health conditions at about the same frequency as White Americans, members of the Black community often face structural and cultural challenges accessing the care and treatment they need. It is imperative that Black communities have access to culturally competent and effective mental health solutions, and that they feel comfortable getting help. Let’s continue working towards improved mental health resources and support for Black Americans. #mentalhealth #blackhistorymonth

This #BlackHistoryMonth remember that the stories of Black Americans are more multi-dimensional than what you’ll find in history books, and that history is still being written. Read, watch, or experience something that increases your understanding. For Black Americans honoring this history may be healing, especially if you were raised in an environment where your identity wasn’t centered or the Black experience wasn’t appropriately acknowledged. Or because the history of Black people in the US contains so much injustice, focusing on it can bring up challenging emotions. Remember that all of these feelings are valid, and you can choose to engage (or not) with Black History celebrations however feels right to you.

💛 HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH 💛 February is Black History Month, which acknowledges the hardships and triumphs of the black community in the United States and worldwide. We want to especially highlight the importance of black mental health, with s****de being the 3rd leading cause of death among African Americans 10-24 years old in 2021. Often, this can be due to not seeking help out of fear of racial discrimination and medical bias. Please join us in emphasizing that #blackmentalhealthmatters. The prioritization of black mental health support — and research — could help save lives. -- Statistics source: https://rb.gy/b2veo5 #blackhistorymonth #mentalhealth
