🔷 Behind the Brave: “For the little girl in m 🔷 Behind the Brave: “For the little girl in me who didn’t have a voice.”

Behind every brave step is a story, often one that started in silence.

This one’s for the little girl who wasn’t heard.
Who carried too much.
Who learned to stay quiet to survive.

And now?
She has the courage to write this message on a posterboard.
To let her voice be heard and begin the journey forward.
Speaking not just for her past but for her future.

💙 When survivors reclaim their voice, they honor every version of themselves along the way. That’s what it means to be Behind the Brave.

🗣 Voices of Change | Minority Mental Health Awa 🗣 Voices of Change | Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Featuring: Dr. Lisa Littlejohn Hill

This July, we honor Minority Mental Health Awareness Month by turning awareness into action. Dr. Hill reminds us that mental health conversations in communities of color require compassion and depth, naming the impact of systemic barriers, cultural stigma and unequal access to care.

Intersectionality matters. When we recognize how race, gender, class and identity shape the survivor experience, we create space for deeper growth.

Whether you're a clinician, advocate, loved one or survivor, the call is the same: practice cultural humility, respond with empathy and build pathways that center survivors’ voices.

Because when we lead with understanding, awareness becomes action.

#MinorityMentalHealthMonth #VoicesOfChange #TraumaInformedCare #CulturalHumility #SurvivorSupport #Intersectionality #MentalHealthAwareness #DrLisaLittlejohnHill
Recovering from sexual trauma while navigating rac Recovering from sexual trauma while navigating racism, discrimination or cultural expectations is no small feat. It takes extraordinary courage to seek mental health support when your full identity isn’t always seen or understood.

🧠 Quote: “We don’t heal in isolation. We heal in community. But what if our community doesn’t believe us?” – Survivor, Latina, age 32

To those showing up for themselves despite the weight of it all: we see you. Your growth matters. You matter.

🧡 This Minority Mental Health Month, we amplify voices often overlooked in conversations about trauma and wellbeing.
