Black Mental Health Task Force - The Therapeutic Play Foundation, is dedicated to the wellness of our surrounding community, particularly those of African ancestry, and to changing the stigma around Black mental health. Established by Black mental health professionals and allies who care about Black lives. The Black Mental Health: Changing the Narrative documentary film will be an aide for outreach opportunities in the community. It will be screened on an awareness tour with middle schools, high schools and colleges to spread healthy Mental Health awareness. A discussion panel will follow each screening of the film to allow ventilation, processing and healing opportunities.
To be heard is the starting point to the healing process.
