Abstract

This article discusses the importance of supporting the mental health of employees of color in the workplace. It highlights the disparities that exist between people of color and their white counterparts in terms of the prevalence, incidence, symptoms, and treatment of mental health conditions. The article identifies barriers that employees of color face, such as the impact of racism, being an "only," cultural mistrust, and collectivism. It provides advice for individuals on advocating for their mental health and seeking help, as well as recommendations for managers and companies on creating a supportive environment.
