Black Women's Mental Health: It Takes Courage to Ask for Help!

Mental Health Resources About PSA

Depression can be as sneaky as a sucker punch; you often don't see it coming. A variety of circumstances put Black women at high risk for mental and emotional stress - economic insecurity, responsibilities of caregiving, neighborhood violence, lack of social support and physical illness or disability. As a result, many are plagued by tension, anxiety, worry and fear. Because of the powerful and complex links between the mind, emotions and body, chronic states of stress and anxiety can have dangerous and sometime fatal, health consequences. In addition, the daily struggles of coping with racism and sexism further exacerbate mental and emotional stress.

Double Your Impact: Make Change Happen!

2008 has been a historic year for our country and for CABWHP!  For the first time, we concurrently conducted our Advocate Training Program in both Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.  In addition, we launched the pilot of our Young Women's Initiative through which we are training young women ages 18-30 to be health policy advocates and activists.  As a result, by the end of 2009 we will have trained a total of nearly one hundred (100) women through our groundbreaking program!

We know times are hard but we need your donation of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more to be able to continue our work to improve the health of Black women and girls.

Thank you for supporting us and believing in our work.
Have a safe, healthy and peaceful holiday season!
