Psychotherapist Chad Davis is deeply impacted by the mental health crisis in the Black community. He would like to see a greater effort on the part of mental health professionals to reach out to the hard to reach populations, especially the Black community, and engage those populations to encourage them to seek out mental health treatment.
For far too long mental illness in the Black community has been swept under the rug, causing people to suffer in silence. In Episode 3 of the “The Positive Controversy”, host Kristen L. Pope sits down with Squeaky Moore and Kenneth “KT” Nelson, producers of “FACE of DARKNESS” Documentary, as well as psychotherapist Chad Davis and nurse psychotherapist Deanna Johnson for an upfront conversation regarding the myths, stigma and labels of mental illness.
