The relationship between Black communities and psychiatric care is complicated. From the history of medical racism to present-day disparities in diagnosis and treatment, this conversation creates space to ask the hard questions, share valid concerns and explore what informed psychiatric care can look like. You’ll leave with historical context, practical frameworks for advocating for yourself or a loved one within these systems and a greater sense of agency over your own mental health journey.
