The Disability Pride flag, created in 2019, symbolizes solidarity, pride, and acceptance with its colorful stripes: ❤️ Red: Physical disabilities 💛 Gold: Neurodiversity 🤍 White: Invisible disabilities 💙 Blue: Emotional and psychiatric disabilities 💚 Green: Sensory disabilities Join us in advocating for a more inclusive world. 💙✨ #disabilitypridemonth

July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. It's a crucial time to bring awareness to the unique challenges that racial and ethnic minorities in the United States face. Mental health affects us all, and everyone deserves the inherent right to have access to mental health support, resources, and care. Still, not everyone has equal and equitable access to these crucial services because of stigma, shame, or fear of judgment.
