    #298 Black Minds Matter with Danielle Bridge

    In the latest episode of The Business of Healthcare podcast, we are joined by Danielle Bridge, CEO of Black Minds Matter UK, who shares her insights on mental health, the importance of community, and the power of a supportive network.
     
    Danielle's journey is a testament to resilience and adaptability. Leading a mental health charity, she emphasises that while therapy is a crucial intervention, it is not the only path to mental wellbeing. A sense of belonging, purpose, and community joy are equally vital in nurturing our mental health.
     
    The episode also touches on the impact of systemic racism on mental health services and the need for culturally appropriate therapy. Danielle discusses the vision and mission of Black Minds Matter UK, founded in the wake of George Floyd's killing and the pandemic time that highlighted the disparities in mental health support for the black community.
     
    This episode is a must-listen and a reminder that amidst life's difficulties, there is always a community, joy, and abundance waiting to be embraced.
