Hello! We are Pup Support, a student-led organization at the University of Washington with a focus on providing mental health resources to college students and our community. Today, our Resources and Education Team is presenting on the topic of racial bias in mental healthcare, a subject that needs and deserves more adequate discussion within the mental health community. There is a long history of racial bias that is to be acknowledged within many facets of healthcare, including mental healthcare. Recognizing the persistent patterns of systemic racism and implicit bias, as well as educating ourselves and others on these existing racial disparities, are steps we can take to advocate for our communities of color. As we share our creative content and videos online for the public, we hope that our efforts are making mental health education more accessible to the community.

Why don’t we make our mental health as important as our physical health? Unfortunately, because of mental health stigma. How we view mental health keeps people from ever seeking proper treatment. Just as addressing any physical illness early provides better outcomes, so can addressing our mental health. Lack of mental health care is the root of many of the problems facing community. Drug addiction, violence, sexual abuse, and so many more issues can all be rooted in mental illness. By properly addressing mental health issues, we can heal one person, one family, and hopefully one community at a time. Chante Meadows is the owner of the private practice, Meadows Counseling Group.

Suicide rates are down across the U.S. as a whole, but rates for Black Americans have trended strongly in the opposite direction, according to studies from Johns Hopkins University and the National Institute of Mental Health. Although suicide is still more common among white youth (also American Indian or Alaskan Native), Black males ages 15 to 24 had a 47% increase in the suicide rate between 2013 and 2019; the spike was even higher at 59% for Black female youths. The increase for Black individuals of all ages was 30%. What’s happening, and how can we fix it? Join us for a conversation with Fonda Bryant of Charlotte, a nationally known mental health advocate. Fonda, who leads classes in suicide prevention, recently won Nexstar’s Remarkable Woman of the Year – first the regional honor for Charlotte and then the national award!

As such, it is necessary for us to understand how best to respond to it. What is Islam’s position on s∪icide and those who passed away from it? How should we respond as a community when we lose someone in this way? What can we do as individuals to protect ourselves and others from this crisis? In this episode, host Mohamad Zaoud sits down with Dr. Farah Islam, Director of the Psychospirituality Department at Yaqeen Institute, to explore these questions and discuss suicide prevention. 🎧 Listen on-the-go on your favorite platform https://yqn.io/doubletake 📨 Share your feedback! https://yqn.io/podcastfeedback ------------------------------------------------ The contents of this episode are for general informational purposes only, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any condition or disease or substitute for medical advice.
