July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month or BIPOC Mental Health Month. Since 2008, this was named after journalist, author, educator, and mental health advocate, Bebe Moore Campbell. Her contributions and legacy remind us that BIPOC communities are significantly more likely to develop mental health conditions, including burnout, a form of exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged emotional, physical, and mental stress.
