He’ll be launching<br> an interview series on social media to discuss this topic with expert professionals as guests.<br> There is one issue that has plagued people of color with very few having the courage to address – mental health. The World Health Organization (WHO) states over 800,000 people commit suicide every year – that’s one person every forty seconds. Also, the National Council for Behavioral Health notes that 46% of adults in the USA experience mental illness. In communities of color, according to the non-profit community organization, Mental Health America, out of 13% of Black Americans in the USA (according to the Census Bureau), 16% reported having mental illness – that’s over 7 million people (more than the overall populations of Chicago, Philadelphia and Houston combined).<br> I sit down with Hezeus to talk about this topic, the film, and who Hezeus is.<br> Guest: Film director, Hezeus R<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.hezuesr.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Website: WWW.HezeusR.COM</a><br> <br> Lets stomp out the stigma!<br>
