Destigmatizing Mental Health in the Black Community HUSH Screening & Panel Discussion
The "HUSH" event at Genesee Theatre was a significant event that included a screening of the powerful documentary "HUSH," which focuses on mental health and wellness in the Black community. Dr. Mary, a distinguished panelist, was part of the discussion following the screening. Her expertise and insight contributed to a deeper understanding of the mental health challenges faced by the Black community and the importance of addressing these issues with compassion and awareness. The event aims to destigmatize mental health conversations and provide a platform for open dialogue, fostering a supportive environment for attendees to learn and share their experiences. The screening and panel discussion offered a valuable opportunity for the community to come together, gain knowledge, and promote mental wellness. Conversations around mental health are often hushed, buried beneath layers of stigma and misunderstanding. A groundbreaking documentary emerges to give voice to a community often overlooked: “HUSH | A Black Mental Health Documentary.” Produced and directed by Antwon Lindsey, "HUSH | Help Us Say Help" is a 76-minute documentary about the origins of generational trauma and access to mental health resources within Black communities.
