National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is observed each July to bring awareness to the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder for racial and ethnic minority groups to get access to mental health and substance-use treatment services.
Throughout the month, the HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) will focus on promoting tools and resources addressing the stigma about mental health among racial and ethnic minority populations, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Find resources from OMH here.
This month, the NNLM Reading Club explores how peace of mind, in terms of health, can be your travel companion. For information on each of our three featured books, free downloadable book club discussion guides, customizable promotional materials and more visit: https://nnlm.gov/nnlm-reading-club/travel-health
