On September 20, 2018, on behalf of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in collaboration with the HHS/Office of Minority Health, the National Network to Eliminate Disparities in Behavioral Health (NNED) convened a Virtual Roundtable. The purpose of this roundtable is to increase awareness about the mental health needs and vulnerabilities of African American boys and about culturally appropriate mental health promotion and early intervention strategies. The discussion features emerging data on the age-related disparities in mental health outcomes for African American boys and related policy and practice implications.
A big thank you to our panelists and facilitator for coming together to provide their insight to a critical topic:
Dr. Rosemarie Allen, Dr. Jeff Bridge, Dr. Derrick Gordon, Dr. Gail Mattox, Reta Stanley, and Elijah Wheeler.
