Demystifying Health Information for People of Color and Mental Health Talks with Dr. Cortney Beasley
Mental health is a topic that many people shun away from. It’s never easy to tell someone about your mental health. It’s that inner demon that many battle with everyday. It is something that requires attention, time and gentle loving care.
Mental health isn't a taboo subject. It’s something that needs to be spoken about and needs to be spoken now!
