Demystifying Health Information for People of Color and Mental Health Talks with Dr. Cortney Beasley

Minority Money

Mental health is a topic that many people shun away from. It’s never easy to tell someone about your mental health. It’s that inner demon that many battle with everyday. It is something that requires attention, time and gentle loving care.

Mental health isn't a taboo subject. It’s something that needs to be spoken about and needs to be spoken now!

In this episode, I had the honor to interview Dr. Cortney Beasley, a doctor of Psychology, trained in Clinical and Forensic Psychology! We’re going to discuss mental health for minorities and unpack everything that is related to it.
