Summary

the mental health care system is profoundly white. Our broken system has never been built for the minority mind - especially for black men. According to Mental Health America, more than 7 million Black Americans have reported to having a mental illness in the last year. Because less than 2 percent of American Psychological Association members are Black or African American, some may worry that mental health care practitioners are not culturally competent enough to treat their specific issues. So DR KOJO (!! OF TIK TOK FAME AND BREAKING MENTAL HEALTH STIMGAS!!!) joins Kelsey to talk about how this ended up this way (racism. duh), and what we can do to change it.
