Mental health matters
Our Story
Our Story
Our Story
MH Boxes was established in 2023 by the determined and compassionate 12-year-old, Mila. Confronting her own mental health challenges, Mila gained a profound understanding of the importance of communication. She embarked on a journey to assemble tools that would aid her in navigating her mental health treatment. As a member of a bi-racial family, Mila is acutely aware of the disparities in how mental health is perceived. While conversations around mental health are often open in white families, there exists a hesitancy within Black families to engage in such discussions. Recognizing the resulting stigma and its impact on access to mental health care, Mila felt compelled to make a difference. MH Boxes is Mila's way of giving back to young Black girls, providing them with toolboxes to navigate their mental health journeys, fostering coping mechanisms, and letting them know they are not alone.
The Why
Our Story
Our Story
The rates of suicide among young Black girls and adolescents have been on the rise. Unfortunately, those who struggle with depression and other mental health conditions are frequently stigmatized, labeled as "problems" or "troublemakers," and often face punishment rather than support and treatment. Studies indicate that Black girls are less inclined to seek and accept mental health care due to concerns about stigma. Embracing and affirming Black girls who are receiving mental health treatment can contribute to fostering a culture that views mental health care in a positive light.
