The Clinical Cookout

The Clinical Cookout

The Clinical Cookout is a mental health podcast for the culture hosted by four dynamic professional Black Women known as “The Aunties”. Our mission is to use our voices as a platform to address the mental health disparities within BIPOC communities. Through vulnerability, authenticity, transparency, and a little laughter, we will dive into the historical context of systemic and societal influences on mental health and the presentation of these problems in our community. Through transformative conversations and dynamic truthfulness, we will educate others on awareness, adaptive coping, and self-advocacy.
