As we step into July, we observe National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month a crucial time dedicated to recognizing the unique mental health challenges faced by racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States.
Why This Matters
Mental illness affects all communities, but the struggles faced by minority groups are often compounded by cultural stigma, lack of communication, and insufficient education on mental health issues. It's time we bring these conversations to the forefront and work towards a more inclusive understanding and support system.
Join the Movement
Throughout this month, I am committed to shedding light on these critical issues. Here’s how you can join and make a difference:
Stay Informed and Engaged: Follow me online for regular updates and live sessions throughout the week where we’ll discuss various aspects of minority mental health.
Educate and Empower: Sharing knowledge is key. The more we understand about mental health, the better we can support ourselves and those around us.
Reflect and Heal: Journaling can be a powerful tool for mental clarity and emotional relief. I encourage you to start a journal to reflect on your thoughts and feelings.

Journal Title: The Hope Journal - Authored by me, this journal includes self-prompts to guide you through various aspects of self-care, feelings, challenges, and more, helping you to start your journey of reflection and healing.
You Are Not Alone
Remember, you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself. Together, we can break the stigma and build a supportive community. Your participation can bring hope and healing to many who need it.
Let’s come together this July to raise awareness, share our stories, and support one another.
Make it a great day,
Candice Hayes
