Jay-Z says therapists should be in schools

February 1, 2018

Hip hop artist Jay-Z addressed the issue of mental health Saturday, telling CNN's Van Jones that he was open about seeing a therapist himself, and that the stigma attached to mental health issues was "ridiculous."

"Mental health, PTSD and trauma is so rampant in our community," Jones remarked to Jay-Z on the premiere of "The Van Jones Show," before joking that "as scared as black folks are of the cops, we're even more scared of therapists."
