Recent studies point to the disabling impact of diagnosable disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse on the overall mental health status of Black youth. Experts noted that multiple mental health disorder risk factors, such as poverty, food insecurity, health care disparities, and exposure to violence, disproportionately affect Black children (Reed & Adams, 2020). Additionally, experts have asserted systemic, intergenerational, and environmental criminal justice, race and social relational factors, as predisposing risks to disparate Black youth mental health outcomes (Bell, 2016) (Talley, et al., 2021) (Talley, et al., 2021) (Assari, Boyce, Bazargan, & Caldwell, 2021). These risk factors and other stressors also have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
