Today we’re talking about how societal consciousness impacts mental health in the black community.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you how this has impacted my own life as a black man with mental health challenges.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie Shanks, a white woman, and I, a black man, sit down to discuss a topic that often gets swept under the rug—the role societal consciousness plays in mental health within the black community. It’s an “uncomfortable” conversation that we were both very comfortable discussing.
As a black man who lives with mental health challenges, it’s been difficult. There is a stigma in society about the “strong black man”, yet there is no real definition of what that means. Can I be a strong black man if I have mental health challenges? Absolutely!
I’ve been working to redefine what this definition looks like. In order to do this, I’ve identified a few things that we need to work on changing in the black culture such as using the common mental health terminology and improving access to healthcare. To improve black mental health, these areas need to be addressed along with others.
To improve black mental illness we need to be willing to have these types of uncomfortable conversations. In this video, Vikie and I share some ways to make this possible. If we want to break down the barriers between races we need to stop walking on eggshells and starting talking to each other.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that we can improve mental health in the black community in 2019.

Youth Mental Health in the COVID-19 Pandemic [SHOCKING]
Youth mental health has become an increasingly popular focus for society over the past two decades. Youth mental health in the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed this topic to a whole new level. Mental health issues in youth are increasing at an alarming rate. The two most common issues are youth depression and youth anxiety.
NBC News affiliate WJFW interviewed Mike Veny to gain a better understanding of what’s really going on.
Both depression in children and anxiety in children are subjects that Mike Veny understands well. As a child, he struggled with both. Nowadays, he’s a school motivational speaker who is on a mission to support people in receiving the gift of emotional wellness. He delivers high school mental health presentations live and virtually.
In this video, Mike says that journaling and doing a “brain dump” are good mental health activities for youth. Another thing that Mike recommends, which is not in this video is investing in youth mental health first aid.
Teen mental health issues are at an all time high right now so it’s critical that we get them the help they need in order to prevent teen suicide. This is why school mental health needs to become a top priority right now. Establishing and maintaining a solid school mental health program is necessary in order to give youth the support they need right now.
Ultimately, teen suicide prevention is not just a schools responsibility. It’s everyone’s responsibility. It’s important that all youth have mentally healthy adults in their lives. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, adults have been struggling with their own mental health and this is taking a toll on youth.
In his work as youth motivational speaker, Mike Veny is committed to helping children and teenagers navigate this uncertain time. He truly believes that if we are intentional about working together, we can through this difficult time and be mentally well.
