July is the month that Americans celebrate independence – it’s the national holiday month when we come together and celebrate our freedom. But in a country where black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are less likely to access mental health services, as confirmed by the latest National Healthcare Quality and Disparities report.
In a nation where BIPOC experiences systematic discrimination and alienation from life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A system where people of color, Indians, and blacks are not treated equally – many do not experience the freedom that has been our country’s primary source of pride.
We have ignored the mental health effects of violence and systemic racism on BIPOC members for too long. The disparities that permeate our lives every day prevent us from having healthier states of mind — and they can’t be ignored any longer.
Our local psychotherapists at Urban Health Group (UHG) are offering mental health support for blacks, indigenous, and people of color in the Castro Valley area of California. We aim to address intergenerational issues that have always gone unaddressed and heal wounds of racism.
Specialized BIPOC Psychotherapy Solutions
At UHG, we differentiate ourselves in the medical industry by recruiting and training BIPOC professionals who specifically offer services to BIPOC using a proactive and preventive approach. Hence, as we are part of you, we know how you feel and what mental therapy will be ideal for you.
We are a team of local professional psychotherapists and licensed counselors on mental health. We offer BIPOC health services to individuals and groups in and around the Castro Valley in Alameda County, California. Our services also cover educational classes on health and wellness and end-of-life planning and support.
