TAKE 5: Black Youth Mental Health

This factsheet was created by YouthREX.

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

YouthREX’s Beyond Invisible: Black Youth Mental Health was a Youth Work Teach-In for the Ontario youth sector on pedagogies, perspectives, and practices on Black youth mental health, presented in collaboration with Donna Richards, Hellen Gateri, and the York Research Chair in Youth and Contexts of Inequity on October 6, 2022.

The opening keynote, Unashamed yet Unsupported, was provided by Mercy Shibemba, an award-winning youth activist from the UK who uses her story of growing up with HIV to educate, challenge stigma, and inspire.

This factsheet outlines five key messages from Mercy’s talk.
