How Racism Can Affect Child Development - Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University

"This research suggests that constant coping with systemic racism and everyday discrimination is a potent activator of the stress response. This may help us understand the early origins of racial disparities in chronic illness across the lifespan."

https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/racism-and-ecd/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=february_2021

What could our society look like if racial disparities in health and learning outcomes didn’t exist? According to extensive studies, the U.S. would save billions in health care costs alone.

Black Teenagers With Mental Health Issues May Be Reluctant To Seek Help

TW: Suicide

"In Black kids, depression sometimes shows up as being angry or what adults see as being disobedient. And she says Black kids may face stresses white kids don't."

"They're not always treated the same. Racism is alive and well." - Donna Holland Barnes, Howard University

#youthmentalhealth #generationchange

The data on adolescent health and educational success in the U.S. is of great concern. High rates of depression, alcohol and drug abuse, teen pregnancy, youth violence, and low college graduation rates compared to other industrialized nations indicate that something is missing in our support for young people.

We need a new culture of adolescent wellbeing across the United States that builds skills, resilience, and opportunities for a healthy path into adulthood. In our new series #GenerationChange hosted in partnership with Stanford Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing we'll hear from young people and experts on topics like: early intervention strategies, Asian American youth mental health, Native American youth mental health, the role of media in wellbeing, and more.

Join us as we explore how to better support today’s youth as they transition into adults and realize their full potential. EP 1 kicks off this Thursday at 4PM PST / 7PM EST on our site, YouTube channel & page. Tune in 📺

Our very own Vicki Harrison shares:

"'While young people are resilient and adaptable as a whole, their wellbeing is somewhat dependent on the circumstances of their family life and who they are engaging with during the shutdown.' In other words, some adolescents may escape negative experiences at school, whereas others may be forced into difficult situations at home."

Weathering the mental health strains of a global pandemic - Scope

"To handle the ongoing stress, Carrion and Jain recommend that everyone make time to use healthy coping strategies, such as exercise, spending time in nature, meditating or praying, or chatting on the phone with a supportive friend.

And for kids and teens, small opportunities to make fun choices can help preserve a sense of agency in the face of an uncontrollable situation, Carrion added. Even having a chance to pick a new flavor of ice cream at the grocery store can help."

More than a third of U.S. adults have had symptoms of anxiety and depression during the global pandemic, so Stanford experts are figuring out how to help.
