I knew suicide rates for Black youth have been rising, especially since the pandemic began. But this lecture by Dr. Benton highlighted many other facts I wasnāt aware of. Gonna share some for folks who are interested.
@T_Hamler @AsherBlackdeer sentence from my diss proposal: "it is almost hypocritical and even harmful that the society which marginalizes young people through limiting access to resources and agency is the same society which asks them to be resilient."
The US invests over $10B in training physical health care professionals.....
...and only 1/750th of that (not a typo) in mental health care.
Meanwhile US has highest rate of suicide attempts of all wealthy nations!
