July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month–a time to focus on the unique strengths and challenges that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) face when it comes to mental health. Bebe Moore Campbell was a journalist, teacher, author, and dedicated mental health advocate for the Black community and other underrepresented groups. National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was established and named in honor of her work. Mental Health America has created its BIPOC Mental Health Toolkit to help BIPOC communities reduce mental health stigma, facilitate intergenerational conversations, and address mental health myths. Learn more at their website, and use this month to start (or, hopefully, continue) conversations around #BIPOCMentalHealth in the workplace and beyond.

The deinstitutionalization of mental health care in our country may have begun as a progressive social movement, but very quickly lost its way. For anyone curious about how we got to this point in our mental health and houselessness crisis, NPR's Up First Podcast recently hosted an episode shedding light on the history of deinstitutionalization for mental health patients in the 1960's and the consequences of a lack of integrative healthcare solutions to replace the role of mental hospitals. There are no easy answers, but affordable community housing access is a BIG missing piece of the puzzle today, one which agencies like ours are working hard to rectify. Listen to the episode on their website: https://lnkd.in/eihHVtA #Deinstitutionalization #MentalHealth #MentalHealthHistory #MentalHealthProfessionals #CommunityHousing #HousingIsHealthcare

🌈New Narrative wishes everyone a happy Pride this month! It is critical that we support our 2SLGBTQIA+ community especially now with a historic number of anti-trans legislation being passed in our nation and violence on the rise. This hostility contributes to the disproportionately high percentage of mental health challenges experienced by people who hold one or more of these identities. 🌈 We affirm ALL of our 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbors, staff, and participants and recognize that health care has historically been and continues to be, gatekept by cisgender-heteronormative standards which causes great harm to the community. 🌈 It is for this reason that New Narrative is committed to celebrating joy in all forms of gender expression and sexual orientation. This drives us to pursue equity and access for all who seek mental health care. 🌈 Let’s support our neighbors, siblings, colleagues, and loved ones to access the care they need and live the life they choose now and all year round. 💗🧡💛💚💙💜 #PrideMonth #Pride #HealthCareForAll #MentalHealthForAll

A warm thank you to the Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation and to the AVID CommuniCare Class at Grant High School for selecting our Compass Rose program for a $5,000 grant! These funds will provide our program with the means to celebrate transition-aged foster youth on their birthdays! Many of our participants have not had birthday celebrations while in foster care and this generous grant will go a long way toward healing and creating happy memories associated with their birthdays. Funds will also support other needs, including community-building and resources such as furniture or household items as we continue to equip these young adults in becoming successfully independent and relationally connected in our community as they age out of DHS care. Thank you for providing mental health and housing support through this grant!
