"Minority children have it worse than white children!" This week Izzy talks about the disparities in mental health for minority youth. She tells you how the system dissappoints familes & children and how the therapist shortage makes it worse. She also talks about Middle School Diaries, a podcast she is producing with one of her nieces and the goal for Wellness Bae Teens. :)
