Episode notes
The U.S. Mental Health System requires significant improvement. The system leaves many people and families facing challenges accessing resources and receiving treatment. Meanwhile, the rate of mental health disorders and suicide has significantly increased among Black and African American communities, leading to significant racial disparities for black families across the country. In this episode of Badly Governed, our guest speaker Coles Voyard joins us to discuss the increased suicide among black children, some systemic challenges parents face, and what needs to be done.
