Episode 72: National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

In this episode, Just Say Something CEO Phil Clark spotlights National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month and the critical need for real support in minority communities. Phil honors the legacy of Bebe Moore Campbell, the mental health advocate behind this month of recognition, and addresses the persistent challenges that people of color face when it comes to accessing care.

Phil shares the cultural stigma, lack of representation, and barriers that often silence those struggling and encourages us to do more than just acknowledge the issue. From having open conversations with our kids to advocating for mental health education in schools, this episode is a call to action for families, communities, and policy makers.

Key Takeaways:

• Why therapy and faith can, and should, coexist

• The importance of normalizing mental health conversations

• Local resources like NAMI Greenville and Mental Health America of Greenville County

• Ways to support the 988 crisis line and push for lasting change
