Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller was a pioneering African American psychiatrist whose work helped shape our early understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Born in Liberia to parents who had emigrated after escaping enslavement, he went on to graduate from Boston University School of Medicine—one of the few institutions at the time open to Black students and women.

Dr. Fuller spent much of his career at Westborough State Mental Hospital, where he conducted groundbreaking research on the physical changes in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s. He worked alongside Dr. Alois Alzheimer himself and is recognized as one of the first known Black psychiatrists, leaving a lasting impact on both psychiatry and neuroscience.

Understanding history, racial trauma, and how discrimination impacts mental health is part of creating healthier, more equitable communities for everyone.

Through CredibleMind, we’re sharing a curated collection of resources designed for allies, leaders, and anyone who wants to better understand how marginalization, systemic barriers, and ongoing discrimination affect mental wellbeing. These tools are meant to support learning, reflection, and more compassionate action—especially for those in positions to influence change.

This Valentine's Day we're starting the conversation about what healthy love looks like. Healthy love isn’t controlling. It isn’t scary. And it definitely isn’t painful.
Love should feel safe, peaceful, and encouraging! 💜

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Did you know 1 in 10 teens experience dating violence? That means in a graduating class of 300 students, 30 of them are experiencing dating violence. That's like an entire sports team or marching band, all carrying a weight no teen should have to burden.

It's more important than ever to talk to your teens about what healthy love feels like. Learn more about the signs and resources at teendvmonth.org or reach out to Summit Pointe for resources in your community.

Dr. E. Kitch Childs was a psychologist, scholar, and advocate whose work centered the lived experiences of Black women and other marginalized communities. In 1969, she helped found the Association for Women in Psychology and was also a founding member of Chicago’s Gay Liberation Front.

Through her private practice, Dr. Childs provided affirming care to LGBTQ+ individuals, people living with HIV/AIDS, and others who often faced barriers to support. Her use of feminist therapy and commitment to equity continue to influence conversations about inclusive, culturally responsive mental health care today.

As part of Black History Month, we’re highlighting Black Americans whose work has helped shape conversations around mental health, equity, and access to care, foundations that influence how mental health care shows up in our communities today.

Bebe Moore Campbell was a writer, educator, and mental health advocate who dedicated her life to amplifying the mental health needs of Black communities and other groups historically excluded from care. Recognizing the lack of safe, trusted spaces for conversations about mental health, she helped establish NAMI-Inglewood in a predominantly Black neighborhood—creating room for dialogue, education, and support where it was urgently needed.

Her advocacy extended beyond local communities to the national level, where her work helped bring attention to the systemic barriers many underrepresented groups face when seeking mental health care. In recognition of her lasting impact, Congress designated July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, honoring her role in advancing awareness, equity, and access in mental health.

As part of Black History Month, we’re highlighting Black Americans whose work has helped shape conversations around mental health, equity, and access to care, foundations that influence how mental health care shows up in our communities today.
