Black peer support: A role in mental health recovery Posted April 08, 2021, 10:30 am
Guest contributor

Estimates suggest that only 22% of Black Americans fewer than one in four who need mental health care actually receive treatment. In addition to financial and insurance barriers to mental health treatment, a long history of discrimination in medicine makes it difficult for some people of color to form trusting relationships with medical providers. And that’s one reason why peer support has been gaining traction to help address unmet needs.
