This past Sunday was World Mental Health Day, and 6lack fittingly announced his partnership with both Mental Health America of Los Angeles and Better Help to locally and globally help others find support.
“The past few years have been especially tough for Black people, specifically when it comes to mental health,” the R&B artist explained. “I wanted to do my part to create a support system for others to start their mental health journey.”
6lack and Betterhlp will be providing six months’ worth of therapy to 50 BIPOC students in MHALA’s Transition-Age Youth Program, as well as continue to prioritize advocating for mental health access for broader communities in and out of hip-hop music.
