Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community (World Health Organization).
Why this episode matters: Mental health awareness is crucial for black and brown communities because our communities are often subjected to systemic oppression, discrimination, and racism, which can lead to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. As well as, more costly care, more hospitalizations, more torn relationships, more absenteeism at work, and more encounters with law enforcement.
