This capstone project delved into the issue of mental health stigma, which has been identified as a significant obstacle for the Black and African American (BAA) community in seeking and utilizing mental health treatment. Existing empirical literature emphasized the persistence of mental health stigma, including the adverse impacts on BAA individuals. Previous research on the factors that influence BAA individuals' decision to seek and participate in mental health treatment is limited. To address this gap, a qualitative research study was conducted. The study involved interviewing nine mental health providers for 45- 60 minutes to learn about the factors that affect BAA individuals and the strategies that can be employed to mitigate them. This study identified common contextual factors that sustain and amplify mental health stigma among BAA individuals. These factors include the pervasive distrust of mental health services among BAA individuals, racial inequities in mental healthcare, limited utilization of mental health services, and the need for providers to develop strategies to improve treatment utilization. The study brought particular attention to how these factors impact the willingness of BAA individuals to seek and actively participate in mental health services. Mental health practitioners can utilize the present findings to support BAA individuals seeking treatment and to develop strategies to increase engagement and attainment of treatment goals. Future research could evaluate the efficacy of various strategies aimed at reducing stigmatization and consequently increasing the utilization of mental health services.
