The Real History of Hip-Hop & Media’s AI Future With Damion ‘Darizza’ Young podcast
Henrietta Lacks. The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Microaggressions and racial trauma. These are just some of the reasons Black people have a distrust of the medical and mental health profession. About 25% of Black people seek mental health treatment, compared to 40% of white Americans. Despite lower rates of major depressive episodes than the U.S. population overall, mental health disorders have increased in Black youth and adults over the last decade. Rates also surged during the pandemic. The bottom line? We’re in desperate need of therapy but are very reluctant to receive treatment.
In this episode, Satta and Jaretta speak with Margaret (Frempong) McComiskey, MSW, LICSW, a licensed therapist and clinical social worker who believes therapy is for everyone, especially Black folks. Gaining the capacity to face complicated, and oftentimes, frightening emotions is one of the bravest things you can do for yourself and the ones you love, McComiskey says.
Join Satta, Jaretta, and Margaret as they discuss:
