why serve black women
Why, because although black women only represent 7% of the nation’s population, they have the highest clinical risks factors than almost any other ethnic group and their mortality rates are higher than any other racial or ethnic group for nearly every major cause of death including heart disease, lung cancer, cerebrovascular disease, breast cancer, AIDS, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Additionally, black women’s emotional and psychological health are disproportionately impacted by the overrepresented percentage of their black male loved ones who are either incarcerated or involved in the criminal justice system, unemployed, homeless or experiencing chronic chemical or alcohol dependency.
why serve black women
Also, the impact of youth, domestic, and community violence in urban communities, disproportionately affects black women often resulting in un resolved trauma, and grief and loss. Lastly, due to the culture of non-disclosure in black families, black women are least likely to neither seek emotional supportive services nor receive them and as such is often un-served, inappropriately served, or under-served.
