Anxiety PSA
Life on earth includes some anxiety at one point or another. But when it becomes debilitating it’s worth a discussion with a therapist. We ask black clinical psychologists, social workers and licensed therapists to define these terms and why many of us as African American men seem socially wired to deny it. At Push 2 Open we use storytelling and drama to tell and share our stories. Knowledge. Sharing. Empowerment.
