Su***de is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10–14, with rising rates among Black youth. Stigma, inequity, and lack of culturally responsive care often silence those most affected.
Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 3 PM ET, hear from:
Victor Armstrong, MSW — VP for Health Equity & Engagement, American Foundation for Su***de Prevention
Dr. Rosalynn Thyssen — Assistant Professor & Founder, Traeh Thyssen Have A Heart Foundation
Dr. Sidney Hankerson — Associate Professor & Project Leader, The Triumph Study in NYC
They’ll share insights, strategies, and hope for change.
