Mental health is an essential part of overall physical health, well-being, and life satisfaction. However, mental health disparities exist in the Black community. Research suggests that Blacks are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, yet least likely to utilize professional systems for support. One way to address the disparities is to offer culturally responsive mental health services which are easily accessible.
Mental Health supports are a component of the Black Physicians & Healthcare Network (BPHN). This initiative engages children, youth, couples, and families of Montgomery County on a pathway to culturally specific mental well-being.
When you click below and contact BPHN, our team will set up a consultation appointment for you with a therapist that best matches your areas of concerns for treatment. At your first appointment, your therapist will discuss confidentiality of treatment information. Your therapist will also fully discuss your areas of concerns, the services they offer, and begin to set up a custom plan to meet your treatment goals.
The BPHN is here to serve you. Our mission Is to link Montgomery County Residents to culturally specific mental health service providers.
