I have seen many lists in response to recent events in the U.S.
Some highlight accounts/voices, to amplify Black voices.
Others share Mental Health Resources for the Black community.
Lists also share educational tools (books, movies, shows, podcasts) to help educate people on topics related to racism.
Below, I have gathered several of the lists to put them all in one place. I hope this is helpful to someone!
.
Mental Health Resources for Black Community:
The first Resource is a multi-page, really comprehensive resource!
- “Resources for Black Healing” PDF:
- A compilation of resources including mental health resources, self-care and healing tips, information on racial trauma, and informative articles. Gathered by Micalah Webster, MSW/MHSA.
- The Mighty Site: article lists resources:
- Includes resources for free therapy, how to find a therapist of color, apps, and local mental health resources.
- Check out free therapy resources:
- The COVID-19 Free Virtual Therapy Support campaign was developed to cover the cost for virtual or tele-therapy services by licensed, culturally competent clinicians in our network for up to five (5) sessions.
