Despite recent efforts to improve mental health services for African Americans and other minority groups, barriers remain regarding access to and quality of care. In addition to the list above, other common barriers include: the importance of family privacy, lack of knowledge regarding available treatments, and denial of mental health problems. Concerns about stigma, medications, not receiving appropriate information about services, and dehumanizing services have also been reported to hinder African Americans from accessing mental health services. #WellBeings #MentalHealthTo learn more, follow @blackandembodied and check out their latest podcast with @bodytraumapod, “What Is It Like Being Black in America With Mental Illness and How Do We Treat It?”
