To Write Love On Her Arms

This wonderful website says YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT and, to demonstrate that point, they’ve assembled an Introductory Mental Health Toolkit that provides accessible mental health exercises tailored specifically for you.

They say, “Each tool is crafted to be completed in 5 to 20 minutes, making it an ideal starting point. After all, it’s not a matter of if life’s storms will come, but how we navigate through them when they do.”

For Black People

Mental Health America

“Learning about the history of systemic racism duringBlack History Month –
and all year – in the mental health system and movement and how it
harms Black communities in the US and around the world is key for
creating a mentally healthier world.”

This is a non-exhaustive list of Black and African American mental health resources.
