Members of the 988 Diaspora Campaign Coalition are assisting in spreading the word about the 988 Lifeline and the need to stay mentally healthy, amongst diaspora communities in the Philadelphia Region. As a member of the coalition, WURD Black Talk Radio is presenting “Black Mental Health Moments,” 3:45PM, each Friday in September on Groundings with Brother Shomari (1:00PM to 4:00PM). The final segment of each show will feature a Black therapist from the campaign’s listing of Black mental healthcare providers. People will also be able to access the entire listing on the WURD website. Listeners can tune in at 96.1FM or https://wurdradio.com.
