Asking for help is never easy, according to Roosevelt University alum and therapist Melisa Alaba. She says that many women, people of color, and other communities have learned to just keep things moving. Those who do ask for help often feel like they aren’t heard or understood.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Melisa Alaba and moderator Chidima Anusiem (CHIH-dih-mah Ah-NOO-see-um) talks about taking care of yourself and others. She’ll discuss how the COVID crisis and racial injustices have increased stressors, and how you can prioritize your well-being.
