Anti-racism and Mental Wellness Equity Statement

Encouraging the Light of Wellbeing is committed to advancing an anti-racist agenda and promoting mental wellness equity, including life-threatening despair survivors support. We affirm the importance of mental wellness and postvention advocacy and recognize that racial injustice has caused trauma and harm to minoritized communities. We acknowledge that combating racism and inequity is an ongoing commitment. The impact of economic, clinical, and environmental disparities, including diverse linguistic needs, may hinder the opportunity to access and receive quality and equitable mental wellness care and postvention services. Thus, we remain devoted to addressing discrimination, stigma, and other social and moral determinants of health, leading by example and educating our affiliates and communities. Together, we stand united in support of racial justice and the intersection of mental wellness, life-threatening despair survivors support, and the wellbeing of humanity.
