What is your utopian vision for optimal mental health for the Black community? How can mental health care and advocacy help achieve social justice for communities of color? ESSAY STYLE

The black community has been a constant victim of racism, prejudice, violence and lack of social, economic and political resources. These factors have generated psychological pressure and fear that have harmed members of this community in a gradual way, not only socially, but psychologically as well.

The social problems that afflict African American society have harmed their mental health. Directly, we can state that a utopian way to solve these problems and allow improvements in the mental health of these people would be the total and definitive extermination of racism and prejudice in American society. This is because racism and prejudice are the main sources of the problems that black people go through and that affect their mental health.

Thus, a society where blacks are free, have all their rights guaranteed and are treated equally, without being judged by their skin color, would be an ideal society, where even white people would be favored.

For that to happen, a long way must be traveled, as racism is something deeply rooted in modern society, but that must be fought by everyone every day.
