What is the experience of a Black man in mental health therapy? In the first episode of Reflections in Color: Celebrating Journeys in Wellness, we meet Femi Olukoya, M.Ed., NCC, Licensed Professional Counselor. In this episode we explore Black masculinity within mental health, how to find a safe space, the impact of racial institutions on mental health of Black Men, and how to find the best therapist to meet your therapeutic needs.
In Reflection in Color : Celebrating Journeys to Wellness we highlight diverse experiences of mental and emotional distress within the wellness spectrum and bring awareness to real-life challenges. Everyday people share personal stories, reflections, and understanding of their wellness journeys including lessons learned. Most importantly, we identify culture specific, relevant self-care strategies and coping skills to maintain emotional and mental wellness.
