Celebrate Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Each July, we honor the legacy of author, advocate, and trailblazer Bebe Moore Campbell by recognizing Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.
Bebe Moore Campbell's ability to tell impactful stories highlighting themes of racism, mental health, and family has left a lasting mark on this world. Her work serves as a foundation for much of the ongoing support for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) mental health.
We are deeply grateful for Bebe Moore Campbell's contributions, which have paved the way for Black therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists to provide the care our communities need. Let's continue to honor her legacy by supporting BIPOC mental health.
In her own words, Bebe Moore Campbell poignantly stated: "While everyone - all colors - everyone is affected by stigma - no one wants to say 'I'm not in control of my mind.' No one wants to say, 'The person I love is not in control of [their] mind.'
But people of color really don't want to say it because we already feel stigmatized by virtue of skin color or eye shape or accent and we don't want any more reasons for anyone to say, 'You're not good enough.'"
