Racial Equality

 


Mental health is a social justice issue 👊🏾


Don't believe us? Here are the facts:

People with mental health problems are less likely to have health insurance than those without (Rowan, Alpine, Blewett 2013).

Only one in three Black Americans who need mental health care receives it (APA 2017).

Indigenous people have the highest rate of suicide of any other racial or ethnic group in the United States (SPRC 2018).

The fight for economic and racial equality is pivotal in the fight for better mental health care.

Life by Design Therapy is committed to providing culturally competent care that doesn't erase our differences but uses them as a cornerstone of mental health treatment.
