National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to bring awareness to the unique struggles that minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Each July, the CDC recognizes the month as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to bring awareness to the unique struggles that minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States.
However, in minority communities, individuals often face unique challenges when it comes to seeking help. However, these groups are also less likely to seek help due to stigmas surrounding it. Edmonds admits he was once one of those people. He says untreated childhood trauma eventually snowballed as he grew older.
"We work to try to reduce the stigma of mental illness in order to encourage people to seek help, to seek assistance, and try to be the best person that they can be," said Tara Turek, the Communications and Events Director for NAMI Southern Arizona.
