Background Information and Procedures:
The purpose of this project is to increase mental health awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness in immigrant and refugee communities. To do this, we are implementing a pilot project that will consist of a series of 5 online discussion-based workshops. Each session will comprise two components: (1) Storytelling, featuring a black immigrants’ personal experiences dealing with mental health issues; (2) A 50-minute discussion on mental health facilitated by a licensed mental health professional. This 50-minute discussion will include a brief introduction to mental health, address perceived barriers to accessing mental health services, discuss the benefits of help-seeking behavior, provide self-care recommendations and promote self-efficacy by sharing local mental health resources. If you agree to be in this project, we would ask you to complete an online survey about complete a survey to assess current beliefs and attitudes toward mental health and mental health service utilization. After the 5-session discussion-based workshops, participants will be asked to complete a second survey to assess their behavioral intentions based on new knowledge gained. No identifying information will be retained and your participation in the project will be complete.
