Do you know the signs of depression  and other forms of mental stress to look out for in children and teens? Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death in Black children aged 10-14, and the third leading cause of death in Black adolescents aged 15-19?  In this episode, Crystal Winfield-Edwards, LCSW, helps us navigate the nuanced topic of mental health in Black youth. We journey into the impact of trauma, coping mechanisms, community induced PTSD, strategies for addressing and overcoming mental health challenges and the need for our young people to have "safe spaces." Our youth need to know that their mental health matters!   Let's get into it! See you on the front porch!
