KENTUCKY — The theme of Mental Health America’s 2023 BIPOC Mental Health campaign is Culture, Community, & Connection. 

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1 in 5 Americans will experience mental illness at some point in their lives.

Tiara Armstrong is a holistic-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor & Supervisor and is the owner of Healing Essence, Inc and she has experience treating a variety of mental health concerns.

During this In Focus Kentucky segment, Armstrong discusses how mental illness affects people of all cultural backgrounds, but data shows that finding access to quality mental health services is often out of reach for those in minority communities.
