- What is “Black Mental Health” and why does it “Matter”? Hear Phillip’s journey of trauma, resilience, and advocacy as he gives an impassioned talk discussing the impact of trauma on black identity, and black wellness, and why America’s current conversation on mental health is inadequate.
-
Phillip J. Roundtree, MSW, MS is the Founder of Quadefy LLC, an organization dedicated to providing empowerment services to enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength of an individual, team, and/or business.
He is a staunch advocate of destigmatizing mental health, by promoting total wellness, amongst marginalized and often underrepresented communities. His transparency, as it relates to his personal journey in coping with depression and anxiety, gives a face, voice, and hope to those who’ve yet to recognize their emotional and cognitive strength. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I am a brother who takes medication and I go to counselling. I have had my ups and downs but I fight everyday to get myself together. I loved this talk.
Medication is poison and you know it
@@Babyfacedblackjesus Better than being dead.
@@murozman dead from overdosing on poisonous meds? Yea i feel that. Its no secret that psych meds make you more suicidal and aggressive.
@@Babyfacedblackjesus This being based on what empirical evidence exactly?
BIG UP RESPECT !!!

I totally agree!
Always talk your talk...be fearless
This is why I am a therapist. Inspirational speech!

I’m Mexican American I want to help my people the same way! Huge respect towards your cause
They just diagnosed my brother with schizophrenia and I struggle with anxiety and depression not easy
truthseeker89 for life 💪🏾✊🏾your brother and you are strong
Bro as a Muslims we believe schizophrenia is caused by jinn who possess people, you can watch videos of people being removed from the jinn, search “abu nader jinn”
Hang in there!
You're not alone
This need more VIEWS!!!!!
Gennadi Rivera yes yes I totally agree
So true
Agreed!!!
Brother, THANK YOU for sharing this. You never know who is going through whatever it is that hinders them from reaching their full potential.
Yo bro I’ve been diagnosed with Autism. I’m going through depression and anxiety. Everyday I wake up with pain in my heart. Never had an easy childhood due to my autism and family issues. Had to grow up really fast with all the issues I’ve been born with. I was told to be a man when I needed love. It’s ironic now that I can’t feel love and don’t give out love. Pain in my soul. Pain in my mind. Pain in my heart. For all the people suffering from mental health I wish you lot the best and don’t give up. I’m gonna go follow that advice too.
Thank you for your comment. You can read and write and feel love. Being autistic that seems rare. I feel like you have a silver lining. You seem to have a good heart, good luck in life.
Learning history is traumatic alone. It was like learning about horror.
Mad respect for this brother
@@phil_roundtree why thank you, good man

I am moved to tears .... thank you for this speech and bring so real ... this is why my major is Psychology in mental health
Thank you for the experience and vulnerability my brother. Peace be the journey! I will share this message. 🏆👊
He didn't have to say anything, I teared up...
This is so powerful and much needed. I love the bravery and vulnerability. We need more of this . Thank you for sharing your story.
real talk, I suffer from mental illness and I'm on meds, divorced unemployed. I feel terrible
Don’t give up. God can help you move from that point to peace - just talk to God.
I'm trying
I'm taking meds and seeing psychiatrists
I hear you
Bubba if it matters to you, it matters to God ..I once heard a wise minister say. It helped to changed my perception to one of expectating!
Ive been dealing with depression for 6 and a half years, and the COVID pandemic made it sooo much worse!! I didn’t realize how much I needed help until recently. It took a lot of nerve, convincing, and tussling to get the help that I needed to change myself. I am now a brother who is on treatment, takes medication daily, and goes to see a psychologist. I have my issues, I had my highs and lows throughout my life, and to this VERY DAY, I still fight for my mental health, and move one step closer to getting myself together.
This speech is so powerful! As health professionals, we must raise awareness and break the stigmas surrounding mental health.
Thank you for your bravery ❤️
It's coming to light slowly for many of us. Alot of us don't even realize it for years. I will say from a personal standpoint, I too am in therapy and it was the best decision I made in my life. My wife and kids are so happy, and my life went to a level I thought was not possible at times. If your out there and you come across this message and your contemplating getting treatment please know it's worth it as long as your serious and want to heal it will require honesty, self evaluation, and openness but I can assure you that it's worth it. Choose life and be free!!!
2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is so much SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I experienced first hand how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️
(To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU, TOO. You can completely rely on Him.)
I've been in counseling for two years now, and I love it. I'm understanding myself a lot better than I did before.
This video is so inspiring and has encouraged me to take better care of my mental health. ❤️
Good stuff KING. I love your courage man.. Resilience at its finest. God bless you.
I am THRIVING! And will continue to thrive!
Love this! Thriving is always better than surviving!

Absolutely true!

Salute my brother!
WOW,Great speech! One of the most articulate and moving speech I have ever listened..I have learned so much from this. And, this speech will definitely have an impact on my thoughts.. Salute you brother
I saw this necessity in the 80's. I just wasn't as prepared as my young self thought. I'm ready now and working in helping my brothers...and my sisters. PTSS is real!
Any one that has had traumatic things happen to them. Deserve a therapist that cares. Actually cares. Without judgement.

Products of your environment,
Faulty manufacturing.
Real Hip Hop Culture would not influence you to drink or tattoo away your sorrows. What he was referencing was an aspect of African American street culture.
No.....he was referencing what the white controlled media wants to push and wants to create in the streets in the African American community. Don't buy what they selling. Physically or mentally

Phillip J. Roundtree fails to mention the fact that XXX-Tentacion "savagely beat" one of his girlfriends, and stuck a gun to her head. This woman had to flee the home she was living in. "Those who live by the sword shall surely die by the sword." That includes XXX-Tentacion.
