“It is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.”

A page created by Sunset Behavioral Health —offering compassionate substance use disorder treatment—on mental health issues specifically faced by Black communities, as well as resources that directly serve and provide care for Black folx + folx of color.

I do not specifically know Sunset but I thought their page about resources was useful, and was impressed to see a specific breakdown addressing how racism and colonialisation shape Black mental health (which many other healthcare providers I’ve researched do not mention anywhere I found).

“The Liberatory Wellness Network (LWN) is a community-powered directory created by and for those of us who’ve been harmed, dismissed, or pathologized by traditional healthcare systems. Here, you’ll find a therapist or healer who sees your full humanity, someone who affirms your identity and lived experience, and understands that healing is deeply political, personal, and powerful.”

-from their website

“Here you will find important mental health and community resources! We prioritize resources led by and for QTBIPOC and BIPOC folks, as well as resources aligned with healing justice. However, we understand that given the limited number of mental health supports for our people, we also share some more mainstream mental health resources to ensure as much access as possible.

We encourage you to get to know the organizations listed in order to best understand their history, mission, and approach to this work. We specifically want to name that several of the crisis hotlines on this list are not abolitionist and collaborate with law enforcement which may put QTBIPOC at risk when accessing care. We understand that many in our community may still need to rely upon these resources during a crisis while we collectively build more alternatives rooted in healing justice and abolition. “
