May is 'Mental Health Awareness' and there could be no better time for me to have a discussion with, Allissa Torres, the Director of Mental Health Equity at the non-profit organization, Mental Health America (MHA)!
We talk about the stigma around mental health in BIPOC communities and the need to overcome taboos through education and resources. MHA provides a number of educational resources and tools, including free diagnostic tests, guidance toolkits and resources specifically for people of color!
