Problem
Stigma and judgment prevent Black and African American people from seeking treatment for their mental illnesses. Research indicates that Blacks and African Americans believe that mild depression or anxiety would be considered “crazy” in their social circles. Furthermore, many believe that discussions about mental illness would not be appropriate even among family, so often a treatable illness is made worse as people learn to cope instead of overcoming. When stigma is not an issue, cost becomes an issue.
Access to quality and inexpensive mental health treatment is essential, but often lacking. As of 2017, the United States had around 11,582 mental health treatment facilities. However, it has been found that around 42 percent of adults with an unmet need for mental health care stated they did not receive mental health services in the past year because they could not afford the cost.
To bring our vision into fruition, The Tanjong Rose Foundation is offering a wide array of programs and services as outlined below:
Therapeutic services for (psychotherapy):
- Individual, including adolescents
- Family
