National Minority Mental Health

Hmmm? – Why is National Minority Mental Health stricken through on this flyer?

According to the organizer, Robert Lilly, he hopes to enlighten the world and help reverse the psychological concept that people of color are minorities, or small, in the world. Particularly since people of color make up the majority of the global population.

He has reframed National Minority Mental Health Month into a new phraseology called Global Majority Mental Health Awareness Month. 

Robert Lilly is one of BMHC’s patients who has publicly shared his experience with others, promoting the mission of the clinic. He is a BMHC supporter and a community activist with an amazing testimony of recovery after incarceration. He is a member of an organization called Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice (CSSJ).

In recognition of the Global Majority Mental Health Awareness Month and as a member of CSSJ, Robert Lilly is organizing a recovery event in partnership with a group called Real Queens Fix Each Others Crowns. Black Men’s Health Clinic will provide health resources at this event. 

The event will be centered on Mental Health, overcoming traumatic experiences with crime, and highlight the need to foster a community that values emotional intelligence.

This interactive event will be held from 2 to 5 p.m., on Sunday, July 28th at the African American Cultural and Heritage Facility, located at 912 East 11th Street in Austin.
