The Mental Health Coalition

This #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth and always, let’s take time to educate, support and minimize stigma around mental health in communities of color. BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities experience unique social and cultural disparities that impact mental health. By recognizing #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth in the workplace and beyond, you can help ensure your teams are supported. Created in partnership with BIPOC-led organizations, our guides highlight ways to support and advocate for mental health, specific to each of the following unique communities.

Last week, Kenneth Cole hosted a first annual Golf Tournament in support of The Mental Health Coalition. We want to extend a huge thank you to the talented Bill Murray and Joe Gatto for making it an unforgettable evening, as well as Steve Arnold, Kenneth Cole Productions, and so many others for their dedication to the cause. This incredible support enables us to continue our mission to destigmatize mental health and reach more people than ever before with critical resources for care. Thank you again to all who made this event a success.
