Friday #MentalHealth #MythBuster: Psychotherapy Is For White Folks
#Although a majority of mental health professionals are Caucasian, there are mental health professionals who are Latino, African American, Asian and other
#Under some insurance plans, clients may have access to a database for professionals from different ethnic groups, genders, cultures and religions
#Typically, minorities do not often self disclose personal/relational issues outside of their race, family or religious group
#Mental health professionals are trained in cultural sensitivity
#Research has shown that Caucasian people seek out mental health services more often than people of other races
#Psycho-therapeutic services are offered in communities where different races & social/economic groups have access
#There are several ways to experience psycho-therapeutic services: via individual ,family, couples and group sessions
#It is not uncommon for various ethnic groups to feel suspicious of mental health professionals
#Psychotherapy can address the fears people have about therapy & help create a new kind of working relationship between "outsiders" and clients
