On July 2, 2008, the United States Congress officially recognized the month of July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental Health America encourages calling July BIPOC Mental Health Month to be more inclusive.
As a way to honor and celebrate Bebe Moore Campbell, a fierce mental health advocate, author and teacher, we encourage everyone to partake in a FREE WEBINAR presented by Mental Health America at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 18. The webinar will explore how to create or find safe and culturally accepting spaces.
