September signifies National Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month. However, dialogue around mental health in the Black community specifically is still stigmatized, suicide rates among Black youth continue to rise, and especially in the midst of the “dual pandemic”-- of systemic racism and COVID-19-- how are we working to address Black mental health and the various social factors that negatively impact it?
