May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚 DREF reminds us all that mental health is just as important as physical health. Take a moment to check in with yourself and the people around you. Small acts of care, honest conversations, and seeking support when needed can make a real difference.
ICYMI, DREF released a health report in 2025 entitled: "From Disparity to Equity:
A Roadmap for Closing Black Healthcare Gaps". The report highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions addressing healthcare inequities in Black communities. Please visit https://deltafoundation.net/disparitytoequity/ to access the report and resources with sections that include mental health.
You’re not alone—and it’s okay to prioritize your well-being, today and every day.

DREF`s Sister Scholars Advisory Council recently released the 2026 research report, " No Margin for Error: How Thin Wealth Buffers Destabalize Black Communities."
This publication arrives at an important moment. Black women continue to be essential to household stability, workforce performance, and community wellbeing, yet too often face higher exposure to volatility and fewer protections when disruption occurs. When we talk about “the economy,” we must be precise about who bears the greatest risk, who has the least margin for error, and what conditions make recovery harder even when employment is steady.
