A Narrative Examination of the Mental Health Help-Seeking Processes of Black Womxn to Inform Outreach Programs

Black women’s cultural identities have an essential role in how their mental health symptoms are developed, interpreted, and treated. Intersectionality (Crenwshaw, 1989) and Black feminism (Collins, 1990) will guide this narrative study by calling on Black women to narrate their experiences and identities in order to inform recommendations for outreach.
