Impact Stigma is proud to celebrate Black History Month! This episode we are honored to not only recognize historical Black Pioneers that made an enormous impact in the field of Mental Health but to welcome our very special guest and share her unique story! We truly enjoyed this enlightening conversation with our special guest, Latonia Collie, Director of Adult Housing at Frontier Health. Join us as we share some laughs and dig deep into one of the remaining taboos within the Black Community, the stigma around mental illness. Latonia shares her personal experience growing up with her beloved family member that suffered with mental illness and she answers our questions on the difficult topic of how mental health stigma is felt so differently within the Black Community. Her vulnerability is contagious, and her story is one that we know relates to so many of our listeners. Thank you, Latonia, for being a part of Impact Stigma!
