Stigma in the African American Community

Mental illness has no boundaries. It impacts people across culture, gender, age and economic status.

The impact of mental illness, if left untreated, can disrupt every aspect of a person’s life, including their physical health.

There are 6.8 million African Americans in the U.S. and 1 in 5 adults will experience a mental health issue over their lifetime. Many people struggle alone because of stigma.

African Americans access mental health services at about one-half the rate* of Caucasian Americans.

Only 10.3% of black women and 6.6% of black men seek help.

Mental Health App

The Safe Place is a mental health app geared towards the African American community to bring more awareness, education and acceptance of various mental illnesses. The app can also be used as a learning tool for mental health professionals to be culturally sensitive.
