It's time to talk about our mental health.

   
In 2014 13.2% of the US population identified as African American. Of those, 16 percent had a diagnosable mental illness within the past year. That is over 6.8 million people. (MORE THAN THE POPULATION OF CHICAGO, HOUSTON ANS PHILIDELPHIA COMBINED) 

Here at Black Does Crack, mental health advocacy is our main priority, Unresolved trauma is dangerous and the stigma we carry amongst our families and friends is costing us our lives. .  

Mental health stigmas have long plagued the African American community and if we are to thrive, we must confronted them head on. For hundreds of years families have passed down their unresolved mental and emotional trauma from generation to generation.  That long held tradition ends right here and right now. Our video series will dissect the longstanding mental health stigma amongst African Americans and use storytelling to promote strength, hope and healing.

Our Mission

  • To open up a continuous and healthy dialogue about mental health within the black community.

  • To dissect the stigma amongst the African American community, identify the roots of that stigma and to work collectively bring it to ad end.

  • To shine light on the many complexities of having a mental illness while black.

  • To educate, inform and give access to those who suffer from or know someone who is suffering from a mental illness.
