Atlanta Podcast 'Therapy For Black Girls' Breaks Down Mental Health Stigma

African Americans are 10% more likely to report experiencing
serious mental health problems than their white counterparts,
according to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority
Health . Even when people have the resources to access professional
help, they might not find psychologists who look like them or share
their experiences. The podcast Therapy for Black Girls promotes
mental and emotional wellness for African American women. It offers
resources on topics like anxiety, body image and perfectionism. Joy
Harden, an Atlanta-based psychologist, hosts the podcast. She
joined On Second Thought to discuss her work and the podcast's
evolution since 2017.
