Theme of Summit: Beyond COVID-19: Addressing the Past and Future in the Present

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” – Arthur Ashe

The COVID-19 global pandemic uncovers the deeply entrenched racial inequalities which has been severe among Africans in the Diaspora. The potential health effects that have been referenced by research due to COVID-19 include serious mental illnesses like post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, substance and alcohol abuse disorders, as well as gambling addiction and problem gambling. To set the mental health care programs and services on a better course, there is a need to develop racially-just mental health responses. The 7th African Mental Health Virtual Summit will feature important presentations that would bridge the gaps between challenges and solutions, provide tools and skills to inform true and collective action needed to find psychological liberation during the COVID-19 Pandemic and beyond.
