"Coming Correct": Conducting Community Engagement Studios to Adapt Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for the Chronic Pain-Depression Comorbidity Among Older Black Adults.
June 7, 2026 · Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings
Key takeaway
This study found that mindful practices can help older Black adults dealing with pain and depression, especially when adapted to our culture and faith. This is important because it can lead to better, more accessible care for our community.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in mental health helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
