After watching the video on the stigma of mental health, do you agree or disagree that stigma may be stronger in some racial or ethnic groups than in others?

Question 1: After watching the video on the stigma of mental health, do you agree or disagree that stigma may be stronger in some racial or ethnic groups than in others? Explain your answer, writing at least 6 sentences. (Please include specific examples from the video of points that you agree with or disagree with.)

Question 2: The American Psychological Association states that other barriers (beyond stigma) exist that keep African-Americans and Hispanics from receiving mental health care. These include distrust of the health care system, lack of counselors from diverse backgrounds, lack of insurance, concerns about side effects of medications for mental health, lack of education about mental health. Pick 1 or 2 of these that you think are the most significant factors and write about why you believe these may prevent people in your community from seeking/receiving mental health care. Write at least 6 sentences.

For full credit, please respond thoughtfully to at least 2 posts from your peers. Your responses need to be more substantial than just saying that you agree. And make sure to include your peers’ names in your replies
