2017. Maryland. MONTGOMERY COUNTY AFRICAN AFFAIRS ADVISORY GROUP MENTAL HEALTH AWAERENESS CAMPAIGN
MONTGOMERY COUNTY AFRICAN AFFAIRS ADVISORY GROUP
MENTAL HEALTH
AWAERENESS CAMPAIGN
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NO LONGER A TABOO!
|
Mental Health Awareness is one of the top priorities on
the agenda for the Montgomery County
African Affairs Advisory Group (AAAG). Although Mental Health is a
National focus, the African diaspora communities still experiences lack of
awareness due to stigma, cultural barriers and beliefs. Moreover, Diaspora
communities experience an overall lack of exposure and limited access to
information on mental health as well as county resources that are readily available
to them. Our goal is to align with the Healthy People 2020 goal of improving
mental health through prevention and increased access to appropriate quality
mental health services.

According to
Healthy People 2020, Mental health is a state
of successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive
activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to
adapt to change and to cope with challenges. Mental health is essential to
personal well-being, family and interpersonal relationships, and the ability
to contribute to community or society.
Joined
by members of the African Diaspora Communities, Faith-based organizations,
Montgomery College Mental Health program, Mental Health Association of
Greater Washington, A Place of Hope, Kariah Health Clinic, experts in the
field and many others, the Montgomery County African Affairs Advisory Group
officially breaks the silence on mental health.
As
we launch the Mental Health Campaign, we aim to create mental health
awareness by breaking the taboo of silence at the grassroots-level and beyond
to ensure that existing resources meet the needs of diverse communities.
