The Black Men’s Mental Health Conference was created to bring awareness to the current state of mental health within the African-American community with a specifically targeted focus on black men. Statistical and clinical diagnoses indicate that the black man’s mental health is more complex and delicate than other nationalities. Due to structural racism and Black men’s unique history in this country, their mental health and treatment are intimately tied to factors such as implicit bias on the part of medical providers, high poverty rates, and low access to quality psychological and psychiatric services. Compared to other races, black people are less likely to receive guidelines and consistent care or even be included in mental health research.
