When you stand, don't stand for applause, stand for truth. Don't seek to be accepted, seek to be respected. Don't seek to be admired, seek to be remembered as someone who fought the good fight and having done all to stand, stand anyway.
Imagine a world where everyone has access to mental health care, regardless of their background. In this episode of Strong Talk, host Vic Armstrong sits down with Rawle Andrews, Jr., Esq., the Executive Director of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation. They dive deep into the Foundation's innovative strategies to improve mental health care accessibility and tackle workforce challenges. Rawle shares how the APA Foundation is not just talking the talk but walking the walk through thought leadership, collaboration, and philanthropy.
One of the standout points in their discussion is the importance of cultural humility. Rawle emphasizes that sometimes learning means unlearning old habits and misconceptions.

These efforts aim to create equitable mental health outcomes for everyone. The conversation is rich with insights into how mental health services can be more inclusive and effective.
Rawle and Vic explore how engaging communities in their own environments—whether that's at home, work, or places of worship—can make a significant difference. If you're passionate about mental health equity and looking for real-world solutions, this episode offers a thoughtful and inspiring listen.
