    The Let's Go Show with Doug Reed focusing on BeBe Moore Campbell "Minority Mental Health Awareness Month"

    Bebe Moore Campbell was a literary trailblazer, who used her words in books including, “The 72-Hour Hold” and “Sometimes My Mommy Gets Angry,” to address the profound impact of racism, mental health and the enduring strength of culture, community and connections. However, her impact extended beyond her literary works.   She co-founded NAMI Urban Los Angeles and became a national change agent whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the way we approach mental health in underserved communities. She recognized and understood the detrimental consequences of silence rooted in stigma — one of the reasons for the lack of mental health care and treatment within communities of color.   Campbell fearlessly challenged the status quo, shedding light on the unique struggles faced by people of color and advocating for their voices to be heard. Her firsthand experience underscored the need for safe spaces for people in communities of color to share their stories and experiences without shame or judgement. She advocated for spaces of hope and healing where the unheard and untreated could find inclusive and equitable resources for support and mental health care. NAMI The Let's Go Show

    The Let's Go Show with Doug Reed "Prioritizing Mental Health in Our Community: Promoting Wellness for Black Men and Black Boys”sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association Foundation

    The Let’s Go Show with Doug Reed is excited to partner with the American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF) @apa_foundation to bring meaningful conversation surrounding the mental health and wellbeing of African American/Black (AA/B) Men and Boys, and the allies who love them. Stay tuned for one of these impactful conversations with APAF’s Rawle Andrews Jr @mr_rawle, Dr. Amanda Calhoun @amandajoymd and Rev. Jermaine Alberty @jdalberty on all podcast streams, Wednesday, June 19, 2024 (#Juneteenth). Historically, men and boys have been taught to hide their feelings and deal with problems quietly. This is especially true for AA/B men and boys. It’s really important to create safe places, both online and offline, where they can talk openly about their feelings. Talking about mental health helps manage stress and opens up avenues to get help when needed. One big issue for AA/B men and boys is “high-effort coping” or “hustle culture,” also known as “John Henryism.” This means they feel they have to work twice as hard to prove they are equal, especially when facing tough situations. This can lead to high stress and health problems like depression and high blood pressure. “High-effort coping” is a harmful habit that can be very dangerous. The APAF encourages honest conversations about this issue. We need to move from a “man up” attitude to understanding that asking for help when needed is a sign of strength. Health professionals also need to be aware of these struggles to provide better care that meet the needs of AA/B men and boys. We want to “normalize” conversations around mental health; but not make the mentally ill feel or seem abnormal. #dreedletsgoshow #podcast #blackmen #blackboys #mentalhealth #investinyourmentalwealth💚 #justakidfromcincy The Let's Go Show

    Can we take it back to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, track and field. The 1996 Games were given a dramatic and emotional start when the cauldron was lit by sporting legend Muhammad Ali. Michael Johnson of the U.S. became the first man in Olympic history to run and win both the 200m and 400m. Floyd Mayweather won the bronze medal in the Featherweight Division but a young kid from Willingboro, NJ is given an opportunity. He believes in himself. LaMont Smith won a gold medal with the 4x400 relay at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He ran at Willingboro High School in New Jersey, where he was inspired by Carl Lewis, also a graduate of that school. Smith started out at Blinn Junior College but then attended the University of Houston. He made the 1996 Olympic team by finishing fourth at the US Olympic Trials. A great story of believing in yourself. The Let's Go Show
