One Group's Struggle with the Stigma of Therapy

In this episode of OK State of Mind, a Family & Children's Services podcast, our panel dives into the persistent stigma around therapy in the African American community. We discuss how cultural barriers and generational views can deter individuals from seeking help and how Family & Children’s Services is working to change that by fostering trust and community engagement.
The podcast features Teresa Williams, Clinical Director, who shares her insights on family involvement and how it can make therapy feel more approachable and less isolating. Carlos Meeks, Clinical Supervisor, talks about breaking down barriers with culturally competent care and explains the importance of trust in the therapeutic relationship, especially for individuals with limited exposure to mental health services.
