July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental illness is not a personal failure. In fact, it’s a common human experience. We need to start treating it as such.
Bebe Moore Campbell

Established in 2008 in honor of mental health advocate Bebe Moore Campbell, Minority Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and people of color in order to continue working towards a future where mental health care is accessible and equitable to all.

At Greater Mental Health of New York, we honor Bebe Moore Campbell’s legacy by working to decrease barriers through partnering with local organizations, advocating for systemic change at the state and federal levels, and providing high-quality, culturally competent, and person-centered mental health care regardless of financial status.
