In the first episode of our BIPOC Mental Health Month series, Jason Herndon, PsyD, and Philicia Ross, LCSW-C., explore why conversations about mental health in BIPOC communities cannot be separated from history, culture, and systemic barriers.

Together, they unpack the legacy of drapetomania, the overdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of Black children, the differences between psychology and social work, and how access to care is shaped by insurance, representation, and community support. They also discuss John Henryism, the Strong Black Woman Schema, weathering, respectability politics, and the role faith has played in many communities' relationships with mental health care.

Rather than asking, "Why don't people just go to therapy?" this conversation asks a different question: What has happened historically that makes seeking help feel so complicated?

This week, we invite you to reflect on this question:

What messages did you grow up hearing about therapy, mental health, or asking for help? How have those messages shaped the way you care for yourself today?
