Dr. Jessica L. Jackson's advice for helping BIPOC clients — and specifically, Black clients? Practice cultural humility and culturally responsive therapy. Cultural humility is the "pre-work" that should happen on your own time before you enter the therapy room. It's a mind-set shift and a career-long commitment to self awareness, valuing of others, and growth. "Once we have engaged in the pre-work, we can then focus on building on our increased self-awareness to foster empathy for clients. Culturally responsive therapy requires this empathy to truly understand and conceptualize how the client’s social identities interact and influence the client’s perception of their distress." Swipe for her five ways to be a culturally responsive therapist, and read the whole article at the link in our bio. @dr_jlauren 0 0

BIPOC communities have additional barriers to mental health care. Along with a general lack of cultural competence from mental health care providers and limitations in access to treatment, social stigma can prevent some people from seeking help. So a reminder during #BIPOCmentalhealthmonth that, for those of us coming from homes with traditional religious beliefs, it’s okay to pray about it *and* talk to your therapist about it. 🦋 #destigmatizementallness #BIPOCmentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthmeme 0 0
“Though ‘minority’ and ‘marginalized’ may continue to be used in academic spaces, the words the mental health community uses need to change in order to help communities understand how these terms create and perpetuate negative images and stereotypes of individuals that identify as BIPOC. By including ‘BI’ Black and Indigenous in addition to ‘POC’ people of color, we are honoring the unique experiences of Black and Indigenous individuals and their communities, as well as the spectrum of existence and experience by POC.” Learn more about BIPOC Mental Health Month and download the BIPOC Mental Health Month Toolkit by @mentalhealthamerica at the link in our bio. 0 0

“July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. This is timely, as Black-Americans have reached a peak of anger and frustration with the multiple murders of unarmed Black folks at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve. The murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor ignited a firestorm of unrest in the Black community—perhaps dredging up the collective angst and alienation felt by so many since our ancestors’ release from captivity some 400 years ago. This is an unhealed wound for the Black-American collective. We have been unable to heal, perhaps because this nation may have released its captives from bondage, but continued their oppression in various other ways. The mental illness inherent in the system of racism/white supremacy has left its victims traumatized.” Swipe for tips on moving forward mindfully, coping strategies, and resources, and read “Black Mental Health During Turbulent Times” by Vaughn O’Neal, a therapist you can match with at Mental Health Match, at the link in our bio. @centrepath 0 0
We're going through a lot, and talking can be overwhelming. Art therapy is one alternative to talk therapy that can help us process difficult emotions through creative expression. "When we create art, we literally can see how our stuff is playing out in real time. Our therapists are trained in supporting change in that moment – so you can practice in a safe, supportive setting how you would like to do things differently. ​Experiences speak louder than words."
