Black Mental Health Matters Now More Than Ever

We must say his name; George Floyd, and we must remember how he was taken from us through senseless violence. The tragedy of his death is exacerbated by our inability to safely grieve due to coronavirus and the resulting restrictions placed on our families and communities. His preventable death and the many similar racist attacks against Black men and women bond us through lived experience and the vicarious trauma of unrelenting exposure to racial violence.

For adults, strategies include prioritizing your mental health, stopping continuous news consumption, using social media sensitivity filters and knowing when to reach out for help. During this time, it would be easy and understandable for any of us to yield to numbness, but we must resist by acknowledging that we are hurting and that we have the capacity to actively cope. While we cannot always physically be on the front lines, our fight for equality is ongoing and I want you to have the emotional bandwidth to contribute your gifts and talents freely and as you so choose.
