Film HUSH (Help Us Say Help) explores need for mental health resources in Black communities

Despite their lifesaving utility, therapy and mental health resources are often socially stigmatized and viewed as a sign of personal weakness or failure. Author and filmmaker Antwon Lindsey’s 2023 documentary HUSH (Help Us Say Help), which screens this Friday at the East Side's Little Carver Theatre, explores the need for mental health resources in Black communities, specifically those arising from generational trauma and the legacy of institutionalized discrimination and oppression.
