Religion and spirituality are deeply embedded in African American culture. It is promoted to assist individuals to identify their self-worth by intersecting their social circles with those who share similar values, beliefs, and cultural traditions (Mays, 2015). African American college students have shown low participation in seeking mental health resources based on their mistrust in the healthcare system, mental health issues, and religion (Henderson et al., 2007). Black college students are constantly fighting against moments of racism which has led to injustice and poor mental health experiences (Henderson et al., 2007). Therefore, the problem the team investigated was the programming and initiatives provided at three Saint Louis area universities regarding mental wellness for Black and African American students through both mental health and faith-based resources, in order to derive recommendations for university leadership.
