TD Jakes - Black Mental Health Matters

Bishop T.D. Jakes and First Lady Chirlane McCray came together for a critical and urgent discussion: Black mental health amidst a global pandemic and ensuing racial tensions. Together, they implore healthy ways to become "comfortable with the uncomfortable," including building a bridge between mental health and spiritual health, ventilating emotions constructively through creativity, and having trusted relationships to confide in and offload on. In the experience of compromised mental health, finding a way to achieve balance is key. And in a day where emotional stability is at an all-time low, may we continue to show up as our brother's keeper.
