Overall, mental health conditions occur in Black
and African American communities people in
America with about the same or less frequency
than in White Americans. However, the historically
Black and African American experience in America
has been. It continues to be characterized by
trauma and violence more often than for their
White counterparts and impacts both youth and
adults’ emotional and mental health.
Historical dehumanization, oppression, and
violence against Black and African American
people have evolved into present-day racism –
structural, institutional, and individual – and
cultivates a uniquely mistrustful and less affluent
community experience characterized by a myriad
of disparities, including inadequate access to and
delivery of care in the health system. Processing
and dealing with layers of individual trauma on top
of new mass traumas from COVID-19, police
brutality and its fetishization in news media, and
divisive political rhetoric adds complex layers for
individuals to manage responsibly.

Attitudes

 Black and African Americans hold beliefs related to stigma, psychological openness, and help-
seeking, affecting their coping behaviours. The participants in this study were not very open to
acknowledging psychological problems, but they were somewhat open to seeking mental
health services.

 Thirty per cent of participants reported having a mental illness or receiving treatment for a
mental illness.

 Black and African American men are particularly concerned about stigma.
 Cohort effects, exposure to mental illness, and increased knowledge of mental illness are

factors that could potentially change beliefs about symptoms of mental illness.
 Participants appeared apprehensive about seeking professional help for mental health issues,

consistent with previous research. However, participants were willing to seek out some form of
help.
