Honoring BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month

Also known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, July was dedicated to raising awareness about the unique mental health challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities.

At BKV, it means a time to recognize the importance of culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. As we reflect on this, we’re proud to highlight a project close to our hearts: the new youth shelter for 180 Degrees, Inc., now under construction in Rochester, Minnesota (designed in collaboration with Ewert Studio). This shelter will provide vital support to youth in crisis, with a strong focus on mental health and serving youth across 20 southern Minnesota counties.
