Teen Mental Health and Suicide in Black Families – DOM and I’LL BE THERE

Season 2 Episode 201 | 26m 46s | CC

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for teens in the U.S. While leaders acknowledge a teen mental health crisis, much discourse focuses on suicide as a white issue. The disposability of black lives, coupled with taboos associated with depression and self-harm, prevent many from breaking the silence.
