Healthy Mind The Equity Issue Amy Morin, LCSW, Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief We've spent a lot of time in the last two years talking about the mental health crisis that grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the collective nature of these conversations inspires the idea that we're all in this together, the fact remains that when it comes to accessing and providing quality mental healthcare, there are still major gaps in treatment. That's why our second digital issue—The Equity Issue—is focused on BIPOC communities that are historically less likely to receive adequate care for their health concerns. If we're in the midst of a revolution in mental health awareness, we want to be sure that everyone's story has a chance to be heard. Our cover star, Charlamagne Tha God, has been talking about his mental health for years, and is eager to help others in any way he can. Through his organization, the Mental Wealth Alliance, and his massive platform as a radio host, TV personality, and author, he's putting the topic of equity in mental health under a national spotlight. With this issue, we want to follow his lead in raising awareness of the barriers to care for BIPOC individuals, because we can't have a mentally well society until all of us have the same opportunities to receive treatment and, ultimately, feel better. In this issue, you'll find interviews with therapists, diversity experts, charitable organizations, and real people about the following important topics: Cultural competence in mental healthcare How kids are coping through the crisis What we can do about the mental health treatment gap And more!
