Solutions To Black Youth Suicide Rate Sought At Panel Discussion

July 30, 2019 Community Building

U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12) speaks during the mental health panel discussion July 29 at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens.

Better access to mental health services and bringing an end to “systemic and structural racism” and the stress that causes were pegged at a July 29 forum as two key ways to stem the high incidence of suicide among black youth.

The panel discussion was held at the First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens on Somerset Street, and was sponsored by U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus’s Emergency Task Force on Black Youth Suicide and Mental Health.
