By Kyeland Jackson —
Beleaguered in part by racism, stress, violence and economic strain, African-Americans often grapple depression.With help from U of L’s School of Public Health & Information Sciences, a new health literacy campaign looks to aid African-Americans in coping with depression by raising awareness.
“The Depression is Real” campaign targets African-Americans in West Louisville, reducing stigma surrounding depression through ads and outreach. Ads will circulate on posters, TARC buses, social media, radio and public outreach, connecting West Louisville residents with local behavioral health providers.
