Self-Care Using Herbs & Therapy

BIPOC Mental Health Month is celebrated in July, shining a light on the unique challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, People of Color when it comes to mental health and wellness. Below is a link to an insightful article I discovered, which delves into the self-care tools and practices that African Americans have historically utilized to nurture their mental health and emotional well-being. These time-honored strategies not only reflect resilience but also offer us a glimpse into the cultural significance of self-care in the Black community.

I am eager to share this information for May 2022 Mental Health Month. According to its website Mental Health America (MHA) is a community-based, non-profit organization founded in 1909.

The focus of MHA is to help people who have been living with the stress of the pandemic and to provide assistance with “early identification and intervention for those at risk”. And, this year’s theme is “Mental Health Month – Back to Basics.”

FYI – Below is a description from their website:

In 2014, Mental Health America (MHA) launched our online mental health screening: a collection of online, free, confidential, anonymous, and scientifically validated screening tools to help individuals understand and learn more about their mental health.
