Chicago Black faith leaders are stepping up to the pulpit to address mental health in their congregations.

On Oct. 9, faith leaders across the Black community joined forces and focused their sermons on mental health: how to destigmatize the topic, prioritize it for yourself, and how to support family and friends who may be struggling.

Reset learns more about the effort.
