Black mental wellness deserves visibility — not just for a day, but every day.

This Black History Month, we’ve recognized diverse voices and experiences while underscoring that mental health equity is essential to overall health, safety, and opportunity.

Today, on , we continue to elevate conversations about stigma, center culturally responsive care, and reaffirm the importance of community-based solutions.

Black mental wellness is shaped by strength, resilience, advocacy, and collective care. It also requires access, investment, and systems change.

As Black History Month comes to a close, our commitment continues.

Belonging isn’t just about being part of a group.
It’s about feeling safe enough to be yourself.

It’s being seen.
Being heard.
Being valued.

When people know they matter, everything changes — how they show up, how they connect, and how they grow.

Where do you feel a true sense of belonging right now? 💛

You probably wouldn't leave your child's bedroom window wide open or your doors unlocked and risk letting in someone with bad intent. So why would you leave them open to malicious actions in their digital world?

Kids spend hours every day on their devices, using social media, playing games, and possibly chatting with AI bots. That opens them up to all kinds of trouble including bullying, harassment, and exploitation.

To help protect Pinellas County kids, the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County has partnered with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, other local law enforcement agencies, and Pinellas County Schools to bring families a FREE subscription to Parent ProTech.

- Content and resources about keeping kids safe online
