as, I think, considerate of cultural differences.

Graphics and text from National Health There is some stigma. Does this mean that Im

Institutes weak? Does this mean that Im crazy? All those

Dr. Stacey Jackson-Lampleys Office labels that can be assigned, which are really

unfair. I actually see seeking mental health as a

 sign of strength, as recognizing that there are

some issues that you want to address and being

proactive about addressing those issues.

Vania Brown./ NewsVision Staff WHILE SOME MEMBERS OF THE HOWARD

TRT:12 OC: Vania Brown UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY BELIEVE MOST

Howard University Counseling Services BLACK PEOPLE SHY AWAY FROM

ADDRESSING MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL

HEALTH. HOWARD ALUMNI AND

PSYCHOLOGIST, DR. NICOLE CUTTS, HAS A

MUCH DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

--------------TAKE SOT--------- ------------(SOT)------------

Nicole Cutts, Ph.D./ Psychologist TRT: (22): NICOLE CUTTS, PH. D

TRT:22 OC: Dr. Nicole Cutts I think the larger American culture, to some

Dr. Nicole Cutts Family Home degree, does stigmatize mental health issues

and the idea of going and getting treatment, but

I dont think thats peculiar to folks in the black

community.

What determines, in large part, whether or not

people shy away from mental health services

has more to do with peoples socio-economic

status and their upbringing, their exposure and

their education.

TRT:13 OC: Dr. Nicole Cutts Educate yourself. You should also be sensitive,

Dr. Nicole Cutts Family Home I think, in your language in not engaging in

microaggressions. I think that hiding it, feeling

that shame, helps to perpetuate the stigma.
