CPC Mental Health Ministry Spotlight:

 

Mental Health within the Black Community

 

This month, we are shedding light on a critical topic that too often goes unspoken—mental health within the Black community, with a focus on depression. Despite the progress made in conversations about mental health, the stigma surrounding emotional well-being still weighs heavily for many. For Black individuals, the challenges are compounded by historical trauma, cultural barriers, and the persistent effects of systemic inequality.

This month, we explore not only the realities of depression but also ways to foster healing, support, and resilience within our community. It is time to break the silence, embrace vulnerability, and start conversations that can pave the way to better mental health for all.
