    Interestingly: Historically the BM/BP viewed THERAPY as his VILLAGE (extended family etc) BUT Unfortunately the Village has been Mentally Broken down. Therefore, he does not have any Support or directives about Life challenges anymore. So, he is forced to seek a New Type of Counseling a " "THERAPIST" that does not understand his thoughts, culture etc. Another perspective is CULTURE is Everything Not necessarily Color. That's My thoughts.

    We don't even know if some of these people really off themselves for real. Let's all mind our own business, be positive and give grace.
    We need to stop acting and talking as if suicide is okay.

    Some people can't even value humanity instead they value their individual community or tribe be it religion or race its a huge problem when you isolate your mind and spectrum of experience because not only are you dealing with generational often inherited trauma but being limited or confined to certain outside conditions also can effect the mind so it's important to try to obtain a worldly understanding opposed to the one done by indoctrination of the mind via nature nurture conditions. Of course awakening toward understanding there is that old saying ignorance is bliss because once you fully understand how things are and see them as such you become consciously aware to the bad and good aspects of reality from a more worldly understanding but bringing awareness to the wrong people at the wrong time can shatter their mind as well so it's important professionals be plenty and many in the mental health field 😉 and it be accessible for contact visits and every type of insurance to which we lack mental health providers private sector could use to stop being greedy and offer all insurances. Then there's the issue of finding the right one when we need more in the mental health field
