July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is observed each July to shine a light on the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness.

Those in racial/ethnic, gender, and sexual minority groups often suffer from poor mental health outcomes due to multiple factors including inaccessibility of high-quality mental health care services, cultural stigma surrounding mental health care, discrimination, and overall lack of awareness about mental health, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
