It is essential to remember that feeling heard and understood is crucial when it comes to mental health. Those with privilege must do their research and find ways to support Black people and people of color in their community to combat racism permanently. By taking steps towards positive change, we can create a more inclusive environment that prioritizes mental health and wellness for all individuals.
