My guest this week, Dre Smith, has substantial experience in black and youth mental health, both as a black male and as a healthcare worker. On this episode, we discuss just that: mental health in the black community.

Some major topics covered:
- the effects of the Covid pandemic on mental health
- the impact of slavery as a form of generational trauma on the black community
- the reluctance of black men to obtain physical/mental assistance because of stigmas and stereotypes
- how higher elevation increases suicide rates
- education as the key to breaking cycles of violence, poverty, drugs, and more
