In 2020, the threat to the physical and mental well-being of Black youth is especially high. COVID-19 and acts of police brutality nationwide have increased the stress and sense of social isolation young Black people experience. Additionally, according to the Congressional Black Caucus, the rate of suicide among Black youth is rising faster than any other racial/ethnic group. Together, these factors put the mental health of Black youth particularly at risk. From parents and caregivers to educators and concerned citizens, this is an issue that affects us all. Join us for a critical discussion on the state of mental health among Black youth to destigmatize mental illness and learn about available resources.
