I have a question - do any of you know any internet resources specifically for Af-Am women dealing with mental health issues? Like a message board or chatroom? I don't know of any but if it's not already out there, it may be something good to start, even with us.
If any of you want to talk you can PM me and I would be more than glad to give you my e-mail or phone number. I have been through much of what you all have been through and I'm also a licensed social worker and about to be a licensed clinical social worker, so I can talk to you not only as a friend but at least give some advice as a professional as well.

hey Soror....this is one of the goals I have planned for my own practice, I want to raise awareness about mental health in our community...just seeing the need here on GC makes me continue to press on when my classes are KICKING me in the A$$...for the most part we are educated AA women who have enough information and know how to seek help, but think about the multitude of AA women who don't have the resources to get help...
this is one of the best threads in my time on GC.....
