Protecting and supporting your mental health in intimate relationships with Camesha L. Jones, LCSW

Relationships are the foundation of our personal and professional lives. But, what happens when our relationship with ourselves or those we have welcomed into our lives are unhealthy?  How do we protect and support our mental health in our relationships?

• Why depression in Black women looks different from how commonly characterize depression?
• Why it's important for women to have an identity outside of a relationship?
