In this episode, we delve deep into the critical topic of mental health resources, focusing on their accessibility to both the general population and the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities. We explore various organizations and initiatives dedicated to promoting mental health and dismantling the barriers that impede individuals from seeking help.
To begin with, we highlight the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) and its comprehensive support and education programs. NAMI offers a wide range of resources, including classes, support groups (both in-person and online), mental health communities, online discussion groups, and a thought-provoking podcast that explores mental health challenges and triumphs.
Another influential player in the mental health landscape is Mental Health America (MHA), which provides free online screening tools for conditions such as depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders. MHA also conducts webinars and hosts the podcast "In the Open," offering valuable insights into mental health awareness and recovery.
Inclusive representation and support for BIPOC communities are paramount in this discussion, and we highlight the remarkable efforts of The Mental Health Coalition. We delve into their dedicated resources, including those specifically tailored to BIPOC individuals, which provide a safe and nurturing environment to reclaim cultural roots while addressing mental health concerns.
Understanding the unique challenges faced by BIPOC communities, we discuss the Anxiety and Depression Association of America's (ADAA) efforts to bridge the gap by offering community support resources and access to BIPOC therapists.
Additionally, we explore the historical significance of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, which was designated in July 2008 to honor Bebe Moore Campbell, a prominent mental health advocate. Campbell's tireless work shed light on the mental health needs of the Black community and other underrepresented groups. Her legacy serves as a catalyst for fostering safe spaces that connect individuals with shared experiences and cultural backgrounds, granting them access to vital mental health resources and support networks.
Throughout the episode, we tackle some of the prevailing challenges faced by BIPOC communities in accessing mental health resources, including stigmas surrounding mental health, experiences of racism, language and cultural differences, a lack of cultural competence in providers, and barriers to access, care, and treatment.
Join us for this crucial conversation as we strive to break down barriers, advocate for mental health equality, and promote a compassionate and inclusive approach to mental well-being for everyone, regardless of their cultural background or ethnicity. Together, we can create a more empathetic and supportive mental health landscape for all individuals and BIPOC communities alike.

On these episode we learn about HAFA https://www.hmongfarmers.com/
Hmong American farmers occupy a unique place in the history of Minnesota’s local foods movement. Since Hmong refugees began resettling from Laos and Thailand to Minnesota in the 1970s as political refugees after the Vietnam War, many families have relied on their agricultural heritage to make a living growing produce and flowers for local farmers markets.
By the late 1980s, Hmong farmers had revitalized the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Farmers Markets, transforming them into some of the most vibrant markets in the country, while also changing Minnesota’s taste buds for Thai chili peppers and Chinese bok choy. As hard working farmers, they provided the fresh produce that fueled the exponential growth of farmers markets into suburban communities and urban corridors, and greatly increased the supply of nutritious, affordable food.
Today, Hmong American farmers are leading the Twin Cities local food economy, making up more than 50% of all the farmers in metropolitan farmers markets. Hmong farmers are at the center of a Minnesota-based local foods economy that according to AgStar Financial Services generates over $250 million in annual sales. Without Hmong farmers, this explosion of awareness and interest in local foods and small-scale farming in Minnesota would not be possible.
Still, Hmong farmers continue to face many barriers to accessing land, financing, training, research and markets and building sustainable family businesses.
In 2011, a group of Hmong American farming families formed the Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA) because we believed the best people to support Hmong farmers are Hmong farmers themselves and that we are all lifted up when those who are affected by an unfair food system lead the change we seek. We formed with the mission to advance the prosperity of Hmong American farmers through cooperative endeavors, capacity building and advocacy.
As part of an integrated approach to community wealth building, HAFA manages a 155-acre farm in Dakota County where member families can lease land, hone their business and agricultural practices, and sell produce to the HAFA Food Hub.
The HAFA Food Hub aggregates and sells members’ produce through community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares, schools, retailers and institutions.
Through collective farm business development, education and advocacy, we are building paths to wealth creation, not just income generation, toward a sustainable, fair food economy for all.
The Community Health Assessment and Planning (CHAP) process uses a collective approach to improving population health. The CHAP administers the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) and Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA).
Since 2012, CHAP has been working with partners from across the community to find solutions to challenging health issues. Olmsted County Public Health Services, Olmsted Medical Center, Mayo Clinic, and many community groups lead the collective community efforts. Our membership comes from the public, private and nonprofit sectors and includes health care, housing, education.
Olmsted County works with Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center for CHAP’s overall work and is accountable for our outcomes. Three core groups also fund the CHAP process. These include the Rochester Area Foundation, United Way of Olmsted County, and Zumbro Valley Health Center.

Seth M. Holmes, Ph.D., M.D., is Associate Professor and Chair at the University of California, Berkeley in the Division of Society and Environment and the Joint Program in Medical Anthropology. A cultural and medical anthropologist and physician, he has worked on social hierarchies, health inequities, and the ways in which such asymmetries are naturalized, normalized, and resisted in the context of transnational indigenous im/migration, agro-food systems, and health care. He has received national and international awards from the fields of anthropology, sociology, and geography, including the Margaret Mead Award. In addition to scholarly publications, he has written for popular media such as The Huffington Post and Salon.com and spoken on multiple NPR, PRI, Pacifica Radio and Radio Bilingüe radio programs.
In his book, Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies: Migrant Farmworkers in the United States, Dr. Holmes details how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine labor rights and health care for workers. The book provides an intimate examination of the everyday lives and suffering of Mexican migrants in our contemporary food system. He questions how social inequalities and suffering come to be perceived as normal and natural in society and in health care, thus leading to and justifying health inequities.

A need for diverse thinking drives Mayo Clinic's efforts to attract and develop future scientists from diverse backgrounds, and Mayo Clinic Research is working to make sure underrepresented groups have a voice and support. On a mission to remedy health disparities — comparatively poor outcomes for certain populations with certain health conditions — Margaret Akinhanmi learned a disturbing fact: People of African descent with bipolar disorder often are misdiagnosed with schizophrenia.
A predoctoral student in clinical and translational science at Mayo Clinic, Akinhanmi scoured clinical records and research articles. She found a glaring lack of biological and genomic research involving black patients, some of whom struggled with bipolar disorder while taking the wrong medication for 10 years or more.
That's unfortunately not an uncommon roadblock for research. And Mayo's Research leaders say that scientists of color, like Akinhanmi, are needed to remedy health disparities and the chronic scarcity of racial and ethnic minorities in medical studies.
A quest to find answers Akinhanmi came to Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences after completing a bachelor's degree in biological science at the University of Georgia and a one-year program in genomics research at Washington University in St. Louis. At Mayo, she has focused on examining factors that influence effective treatment for specific populations.
For her project on bipolar disorder in blacks, Akinhanmi wanted to clarify potential reasons behind misdiagnosis. She analyzed clinical data to see if there are differences in symptoms in African-Americans.

If you want to learn more about Pharmacogenomics visit CPIC. https://cpicpgx.org
The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC®) is an international consortium of individual volunteers and a small dedicated staff who are interested in facilitating use of pharmacogenetic tests for patient care. One barrier to implementation of pharmacogenetic testing in the clinic is the difficulty in translating genetic laboratory test results into actionable prescribing decisions for affected drugs. CPIC’s goal is to address this barrier to clinical implementation of pharmacogenetic tests by creating, curating, and posting freely available, peer-reviewed, evidence-based, updatable, and detailed gene/drug clinical practice guidelines (click here for all CPIC publications). CPIC guidelines follow standardized formats, include systematic grading of evidence and clinical recommendations, use standardized terminology, are peer-reviewed, and are published in a leading journal (in partnership with Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics) with simultaneous posting to cpicpgx.org, where they are regularly updated. CPIC started as a shared project between PharmGKB and the Pharmacogenomics Research Network (PGRN) in 2009. CPIC guidelines are available on guidelines.gov, indexed in PubMed as clinical guidelines, endorsed by ASHP and ASCPT, and referenced in ClinGen and PharmGKB.

In this episode we learned from the patient and medical experience how to deal and prevent melanoma.
ABOUT MELANOMA
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, and it's becoming more common, with the risk on the rise for younger people. Although it's a skin cancer, melanoma can actually form anywhere on your body, including your eyes, the soles of your feet and under your fingernails.
While great strides have been made in melanoma diagnosis and treatment, many challenges remain, as nearly 80,000 people are diagnosed with melanoma and nearly 10,000 die of melanoma annually in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.
The Melanoma Research Program at Mayo Clinic was developed as a multidisciplinary approach to improve the diagnosis and care of patients with melanoma, with a special focus on patients with recurrent and metastatic disease — the most difficult melanoma cases.
The Melanoma Research Program is led by physicians, scientists and nurses from numerous specialties working together to develop new therapies, offer individualized treatment plans and manage side effects, all of which have led to improved outcomes for patients with melanoma.

At the American Indian Cancer Foundation, we imagine a world where cancer is no longer the leading cause of death for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Through hard work, culturally appropriate community-based programs and policy change that affords Native people access to the best prevention and treatment strategies, we see a day where American Indian communities are free of the burdens of cancer.
The American Indian Cancer Foundation (AICAF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established to address the tremendous cancer inequities faced by American Indian and Alaska Native communities. AICAF’s board members and employees have an array of experience serving the health needs of our people.

The research laboratory of Virginia M. Miller, Ph.D., focuses on conditions specific to women: ovarian function, preeclampsia of pregnancy and menopause. These conditions are associated with dramatic changes in one of the sex steroids, estrogen, and can accelerate development of chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease and aging processes.
Dr. Miller's work evaluates how estrogen affects progression of atherosclerosis, and changes in brain structure and cognition at menopause. For these studies, she works collaboratively with other researchers associated with the Rochester Epidemiology Project, the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, the Center for Translational Science Activities and the Women's Health Research Center.
Her group utilizes state-of-the-art imaging modalities and is developing a technique to detect early stages of calcifying processes.
Focus areas
How do sex hormones affect progression of cardiovascular disease in menopausal women? Dr. Miller is examining how the sex steroid hormone estrogen affects the lining of the blood vessels, which is called endothelium; the activity of platelets, which are required for blood to clot; and the formation of small cell-derived vesicles in the blood. Together, the interaction of these cells and vesicles can lead to vascular changes associated with pregnancy or later in life may cause formation of lesions in the arterial wall, leading to heart attack, stroke, cognitive decline or formation of blood clots in the veins.
How does infection alter the risk of developing cardiovascular disease? Dr. Miller's group is interested in learning how bacteria interact with cells of the blood vessel wall and cells in the blood that fight infection. Her group is examining whether small vesicles shed by bacteria that contain bacterial proteins and DNA alter the function of human cells, leading to the development of calcium deposits associated with "hardening" of the arteries and formation of kidney stones.
Can monitoring small membrane-derived vesicles released from activated cells and nano-sized particles containing proteins and minerals be developed as a diagnostic for calcifying diseases? Deposits of calcium in the wall of blood vessels accumulate over many years without any outward signs or symptoms. Dr. Miller and her collaborators are working to develop a test to detect the ongoing calcification process so that treatments can stop or retard the calcification before the artery becomes blocked or the calcium deposit is released to cause a heart attack.
Significance to patient care
Dr. Miller's research into how sex steroid hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, affect blood flow to the brain, heart and kidneys has direct application to understanding the benefit and harm of using these hormones to treat symptoms of menopause in women; "low testosterone" in men; and chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline and osteoporosis, in both women and men as they age.

Disadvantaged status drives higher smoking among Indigenous pregnant women in Australia, New Zealand, the USA & Canada.
Indigenous women across four high income countries are not getting the help they need to stop smoking when pregnant. A study published today in the international journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research found common large disparities between indigenous pregnant women’s smoking rates and non-Indigenous pregnant women in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America.
“Tobacco smoking is the most significant reversible risk factor for the health of Indigenous pregnant women and their babies.” Said study lead Associate Professor Gillian Gould of the School of Medicine and Public Health at The University of Newcastle, Australia who led the study. “In each of our countries and in Canada, Indigenous pregnant women have smoking rates that are twice to many times higher than the non-Indigenous women.”
The prevalence of smoking while pregnant varied across states and countries, ranging from 18% to 83% for Inuit women. The inequity varied across countries also with Australian Aboriginal maternal smoking at 48% while non-Indigenous Australian women enjoyed a low 13%.
Co-author Associate Professor Marewa Glover from New Zealand’s Massey University’s School of Public Health said the study was looking for successful intervention ideas they could share.
“Despite our cultural differences, the Indigenous people in each country experience similar marginalisation and social disadvantage.” She said. “This stems partly from the common way in which we were colonised by Western nation states.”
“That colonization process resulted in all of us receiving proportionately less of society’s benefits, whether that’s education, healthcare or employment. Our women are disproportionately exposed to environmental risks to health, discrimination and disproportionate incarceration. We are over-represented among the lower paid and unemployed and are more likely to live in deprived areas. The cumulative stress of all this is driving our higher smoking rates and undermining our women’s ability to abstain from smoking, even when they are pregnant.” Glover said.
Professor Christi Patten from Mayo Clinic’s Department of Psychiatry and Psychology in Rochester, Minnesota, USA contributed information for Canada and the USA to the paper titled ‘Smoking in pregnancy among indigenous women in high income countries.’ The paper will be available open access on line today from Nicotine Tobacco Research. [add link]
The researchers want more importance to be placed on supportive programmes for Indigenous pregnant women. They want to see the development and testing of Indigenous-led and culturally-based programmes, such as services that fund Indigenous elders and community health care providers to work with families. Existing stop smoking programmes also needed to improve their delivery to ensure they reach pregnant Indigenous women.
In reviewing the literature the researchers identified several evidence gaps, which they propose is partly due to the difficulty securing funding for trials that are focused on a relatively small sub-group. The team hopes that working across countries will improve their chances of gaining research funds in future to continue this important line of investigation. Associate Professor Gillian Gould will be visiting Professor Christi Patten at the Mayo Clinic in May 2017 to work on a joint proposal for funding across Indigenous population groups in their respective countries.

For more than a decade, Main Street Project has been working to create pathways out of poverty for the growing numbers of rural Latino immigrants relegated to working in low-wage farm and food industry jobs, with no benefits and no future. We developed programs to deliver specialized agriculture training and skills that could help immigrant workers increase their incomes and leverage new job opportunities. We quickly realized that our industrial food system is actually built on a foundation of low-wage work, externalized costs and direct subsidies; unsustainable by design and beyond repair. We needed a bigger approach. We needed a new system.
In 2010, we began development and testing of a new model for producing free-range poultry as part of a sustainable regional food system that would be accessible to aspiring immigrants and other limited resource farmers. We worked with our trainees to develop prototype facilities and a specialized core curriculum including hands-on poultry production and business planning. We integrated perennial crops (hazelnuts and elderberries) to the basic production model as a way to maximize system efficiency and began production.
We currently operate prototype ½-acre production units, located on several Northfield area farms. Each unit of production has a specialized function (research and development, training, or mentorship) and each has been integral to generating the data, knowledge, and experience needed to continuously improve MSP’s poultry-centered system model.
With six years of rigorous field testing under our belt, we’re confident that our regenerative poultry model has the potential to scale up, deliver triple bottom line results and change how food is produced around the world
Next steps We’re moving beyond our current prototype facilities to develop a consolidated 40-acre demonstration farm in Northfield, Minnesota that will put our model into action. The farm will support expanded training programs for aspiring immigrant and new farmers. It will support new training programs for established farmers looking to diversify their operations. It will provide opportunities for basic and applied research in close proximity to the University of Minnesota. And it will establish the baseline economic and ecological modeling and data we need to improve the sustainability and scalability of our system over time.

The Diversity Council began in 1989 as Building Equality Together (BET) when the leadership of Rochester Public Schools recognized the need to combat racism and discrimination in our schools. School district staff worked with community leaders to form an independent nonprofit organization to meet this need.
Since that time, the Diversity Council's focus has grown to include not only students, but also the adults who are their guides to the future. The Diversity Council's mission has also expanded to address an inclusive understanding of diversity, including ethnicity, age, socioeconomic class, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical & mental disabilities, and a myriad of other differences.
Spark! workshops (formerly Prejudice Reduction Workshops), the Diversity Council's flagship program, began in 1996 with a handful of facilitators reaching students at three Rochester middle schools. By 2003, the workshops were reaching more than 15,000 students in public and private schools. In 2008, we received national recognition when the workshops were featured on the NBC Today Show.
We also offer professional diversity training for adults with the EquityLogic program. EquityLogic trainings provide a tactical approach to building cultural agility and diversifying organizational strategies. These trainings are customized for businesses and non-profits and are designed to impact factors such as employee retention, productivity in the workplace, inter-workgroup relationships, and customer/client satisfaction.
Other educational programs include parent training with Can Do Kids and an anti-bullying after school program for youth called Student Leaders Creating Change.
In addition to education programs, the Diversity Council provides community leadership and offers consulting services on diversity issues to local businesses and organizations.

Having trained in clinical nutrition as a scholar at the University of Cambridge, James A. Levine, M.D., Ph.D., has dedicated his scientific career to promoting health in adults and children through education and innovation. Dr. Levine currently serves as a principal investigator for National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded studies focused on improving health for immigrant families through increased activity and better nutrition, interactions between sleep and obesity, and multilevel approaches to reduce obesity in working mothers and their children. Recent additional research includes contributions to a Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University (ASU) pilot program looking at nutrition and activity data for homeless children, physical activity in depressed female smokers, and an investigation of integrated approaches to "close the loop" in type 1 diabetes.
Dr. Levine is a world authority on obesity, serving as a named expert at the United Nations, an invitee to the President's Cancer Panel, and a consultant to governments internationally. He is the Dr. Richard F. Emslander Professor of Endocrinology and Nutrition Research at Mayo Clinic. He holds five tenured professorships at ASU, is the Dean's Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, and the Regents Professor at Umea University, Sweden. He also serves as the co-director of Obesity Solutions, a collaboration between Mayo Clinic and ASU, and is the international director of Obesity Solutions' sister center in Sweden.
Dr. Levine is also an international advocate for child rights and safety. He serves on the board of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children and is the author of "The Blue Notebook," an internationally best-selling novel, and in 2014, the novel “Bingo's Run,” both about exploited children.
Focus areas
Harm caused by too much sitting. Through three decades of research funded by the NIH, Dr. Levine's team has pioneered the science of nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) and harm associated with sedentariness. Low NEAT and sedentariness are major causes of obesity, diabetes, breast cancer, and two dozen other chronic disease and conditions. This work, published in journals such as Science and Nature, has resulted in broad societal impact and policy change. Child advocacy. Through work with the United Nations, Dr. Levine's team identified the impact of child labor on child education and health in impoverished populations. Their work benefits refugee children, children in underserved neighborhoods in the U.S., and underserved Native American children. It has advanced efforts to prevent and protect children enslaved in prostitution. This advocacy has impacted policy in more than a dozen countries.

A Cancer Survivors Journey to educate others about the value of Early Detection. December ,2016 Good morning to all, It is with great honor and thanks to our Creator, the Mayo Clinic, the Native Interest Group and others that made it possible for me to speak to you today. It is consistent with my teachings to play a song prior to speaking, for the music from the flute is medicine used by our Creator to heal the broken spirits that are among us. I am to play the music and our Creator provides the songs for me to play. As a Cancer survivor my journey is to travel to the needy and underserved American Indian Reservations and share my Spiritual and Personal experiences with the cancer and provide health related information about heath and cancer. We are not human beings having a spiritual experience - We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience. I am not a motivational speaker - I am a Spiritual Being guided by our Creator to communicate with my brothers and sisters because I am a witness to having cancer. In 1975 - Pope Paul the 6th was quoted as saying, "Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers and if he listens at all it will be because they are witnesses not spectators, but witnesses".
I am not a Doctor, Nurse or associated with any medical Institution nor have I studied in the medical field. I provide no medical information or procedures to anyone. I just share my health experiences in this journey and hope it will provide others to seek Professional Medical advice when you notice health related problems. My role is determined by our Creator and I work for him to do outreach work which serves other entities and organizations by having a presence in the various Tribal communities and communicating their health concerns and their needs to others off Reservation. I establish the trust relationship with many in the community and take their concerns and needs forward only when they ask me to. I listen to the elders, I ask questions to know and understand protocols, I let tribal members or staff invite me or introduce me to others. I am always honest, I don't over commit and I honor my word. I try to understand the many different American Indian Tribes and their needs by trying to understand myself and my needs and by understanding Abraham Maslow's Theory of Human Motivation that states, "The basis of Maslow's theory is that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs, and that certain lower needs need to be satisfied before higher needs can be satisfied". This document is meant to compliment my Oral presentation and some background information how I approach my work. I hope this presentation touches you and your Spiritual soul and inspire you to look more deeply at yourself and understanding others that may appear different but, we are all spiritual beings having a human experience and our Creator has absolute control of everything. Sincerely, Bill Ward contact lamar2@cox.net

The Monday Campaigns is a non-profit public health initiative associated with Johns Hopkins, Columbia and Syracuse universities that dedicates the first day of every week to health. Every Monday, individuals and organizations join together to commit to the healthy behaviors that can help end chronic preventable diseases.
Why Monday?
Research conducted by Johns Hopkins concludes that health promotions utilizing weekly periodicity and the unique cultural associations of Monday as the beginning of the week have the potential to positively affect a range of healthy behaviors. People view Monday as a day for a fresh start and are more likely to starts diets and exercise regimes, quit smoking and schedule doctor’s appointments on Monday than any other day. And a Monday start helps them carry out their healthy intentions for the week.
What Do We Offer?
We help organizations incorporate the Monday concept into their own health promotion programs by providing free research, creative materials, case studies and ready-to-scale programs. We support individuals through consumer websites and social media with weekly recipes, tips and resources that can help them live healthier week after week.
Whom Do We Work With?
In only a few years the Monday movement has grown to include an impressive array of schools and universities, businesses, communities, nonprofit and government organizations, and media outlets. Some utilize the campaign’s free resources while others create their own programs.
What Are We Looking For?
Organizations wishing to incorporate the Monday concept into their own programs and/or collaborate with The Monday Campaigns and our academic partners to develop and disseminate evidence-based models.

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.
Later attempts to explain this two and a half year delay in the receipt of this important news have yielded several versions that have been handed down through the years. Often told is the story of a messenger who was murdered on his way to Texas with the news of freedom. Another, is that the news was deliberately withheld by the enslavers to maintain the labor force on the plantations. And still another, is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. All of which, or neither of these version could be true. Certainly, for some, President Lincoln's authority over the rebellious states was in question For whatever the reasons, conditions in Texas remained status quo well beyond what was statutory.
