Black Women & Depression: The Pain We Carry

Lunch & Learn Workshop

Wednesday June 25, 2025

1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. For many Black women, it hides behind strength, irritability, overachievement, and emotional numbness. Join us for a powerful and affirming conversation that goes beyond the stereotypes. We’ll explore how depression shows up differently in Black women, why DSM-5 criteria often miss the signs, and how cultural, spiritual, and historical factors shape our experiences. You’ll learn how grief, self-medicating behaviors, and masking impact mental health — and discover tools to reclaim your healing.

Key Topics:
✅ Uncommon symptoms of depression in Black women
✅ The Strong Black Woman Schema & Superwoman Syndrome
✅ How grief becomes depression (including delayed and role-related grief)
✅ Cultural, spiritual, and historical factors in diagnosis
✅ Healthy coping strategies that honor your whole self
