In honor of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, this post explores how these systemic experiences intersect with mental illness and why responsive, culturally competent care is critical. Navigating the Weight of Unseen Stressors For many BIPOC individuals, navigating the world often means managing not just daily responsibilities, but also unspoken forms of stress:  misrepresentation invisibility exclusion These experiences are rarely reflected in diagnostic checklists, yet they shape how emotional distress is experienced, processed, and treated.
