Racial Justice Declaration
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is one of the core values of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health. We acknowledge the impact of racism, sexism, and other structural oppressions on mental health, and speak out against these oppressions even when it is challenging to do so. Systemic racial oppression, a lack of relaible sources of support, and long-held stigmas surrounding mental health care within Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities led us to declare racism is a mental health crisis.
