Session 314: ICYMI, The History of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

From Therapy for Black Girls iHeartPodcasts and Joy Harden Bradford, Ph.D.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

In observance of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, Therapy for Black Girls in collaboration with our philanthropic organization, the Holding Space Foundation, are teaming up to delve into the ways Black women from various generations connect, foster friendships, and evolve together through our campaign, Generations of Sisterhood. Throughout July, we’re gathering Black women from all ages to share their experiences, offer guidance, and celebrate the joys of sisterhood, with the aim of promoting healthy and constructive relationships.

In this week's episode we revisit the life and legacy of Bebe Moore Campbell who was instrumental in the creation of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Interestingly enough, this story is a moving depiction of the power in sisterhood and how lifelong friendships can continue even beyond death.
