Racial Bias in Mental Healthcare

Racial Bias in Mental Healthcare

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 donā€™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.
