Brother, You’re on My Mind: Changing the National Dialogue regarding Mental Health Among African-American Males
What Can I Do Now?
Brothers, we had a great International Undergraduate Summit in Atlanta. We are excited that the Brothers are interested in our Mental Health Initiative: “Brother, You’re On My Mind: Changing the National Dialogue regarding Mental Health Among African-American Men”. We are delighted to partner with the National Institutes of Health on this initiative.
Brothers were asking, ‘What can we do now?’ As you know, we will have sessions at each of our District meetings that will give you a timeline on when had how we will be introducing and implementing this initiative. However, the following are a few examples of things that you can do now.
• Bring in a mental health professional to your chapter meeting to discuss stress and depression
• Connect with your local chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated to partner and begin planning activities for “May National Mental Health Awareness Month’.
• Begin connecting and building relationships with mental health organizations in your local areas (National Association of Mental Illness—NAMI, etc.)
