This article discusses studies that consistently report that African Americans have a higher unmet need than Whites with regards to seeking treatment for mental health issues (e.g., depression or life stress) for themselves or their children.
African American families have a long standing history of preferring to use the bible and religion as a method of coping with life troubles and stress. As a result of this preference, many African Americans view seeking treatment for mental health problems as less desirable or less culturally acceptable.
Do you think that religious associations in the African American community may prevent some individuals from seeking therapy?
