“The Male Perspective” hosted by Lana Reid: guest Damani Anderson
In this episode of “The Male Perspective,” Lana talks with Damani Anderson – Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, also known as “My Big Black Therapist.” The conversation explores the concept of “culturally competent care” in relation to addressing the mental health needs of diverse communities, particularly among Black populations. Mr. Anderson highlights how an insufficient understanding of the intricacies of Black culture and lived experiences can frequently result in misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatment plans for individuals within these communities.
