BIPOC Mental Health

 


Toward the end of 2020, Life by Design Therapy established a fund to support our Black and indigenous clients who may not be able to afford mental healthcare services otherwise.

Now more than ever, it is essential to support Black mental health. The current racial climate has had traumatic effects on many Black individuals -- and Black Americans may be more likely to struggle with their mental health as a result.

Here are some statistics from the Black Girl Health Foundation that emphasize why supporting Black Mental Health is so important:

🌟 Black Americans living below the poverty line are three times more likely to report serious psychological distress.

🌟 Black adults are more likely to report feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness than white adults.

🌟 Beliefs about stigma, psychological openness, and help-seeking in the Black community may make them less likely to seek support and more likely to develop unhelpful coping strategies.

To support Black and indigenous mental health in the Berkeley and Richmond communities, consider donating to Life by Design Therapy's fund for BIPOC mental health. Find the PayPal link in the comments below ❣️

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/
