Mental health diagnoses are still considered “taboo” among a large portion of the African American community, so many children and adults remain untreated for mental illnesses that hold people back from living their best lives! That’s why in this episode we take a closer look at the benefits of mental health therapy and common reasons why the prospect of receiving a diagnosis causes some to shy away from prioritizing mental health therapy altogether.

We flow through this conversation with Dr. Andrea Boudreaux.

She is a committed healthcare executive, medical psychologist and currently serves as Executive Director for Children’s School Services, a subsidiary of Children's National Hospital where she oversees 200 school-based clinics, addresses the needs, and improves health outcomes and access for 90,000 children across the District of Columbia.

Providing access to quality academic experiences is only one amazing part of helping children reach their full potential. Another essential component is helping children, and the communities that raise them, prioritize mental health. Poor mental health can make it extremely difficult to apply academic and life knowledge.

Tune in and learn ways to help children reach their fullest potential, as well as tips for navigating health systems as a person of color.
