Mental Health and the Black Community

Black People United for Change, is presenting the first of many workshops to empower the Black Community.

Our workshop about Mental Health was designed to help our community take a different approach to mental health and remove the stigma our ethnic group has towards mental illness.

Black People United for Change strongly believes in the Black Panther's 10-point program, which was a set of guidelines formulated by the Black Panther Party that stated the program's ideals and ways of operation, a "combination of the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence."

Number 5 of the Black Panthers 10-point program states the following: "We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society." BlackPast. (2021, June 15).
