The Parenting 411 Episode 90: Essential Elements for Culturally Competent Mental Health Care for Young People of Color

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Gina Duncan, the lead mental health expert for The Steve Fund, to shed light on the unique mental health challenges faced by college students of color. Dr. Duncan discusses the vital work of The Steve Fund, an organization dedicated to promoting mental health support for young people of color. We examine the impact of recent events, such as the pandemic, racial injustice, and political turmoil, on the mental well-being of these students. We also explore common misconceptions surrounding mental health in communities of color and how we can dismantle these stigmas, so individuals will seek help when they need it. Dr. Duncan offers valuable insights for parents, highlighting signs to look for and providing conversation tools to better support their struggling students. You're sure to gain essential advice for students of color who may be facing mental health challenges, and discover resources and initiatives, including The Steve Fund, that are working towards a brighter, healthier future for young people. Learn more about Dr. Duncan's work with The Steve Fund at https://www.stevefund.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Let's stay connected:Website: carolmuleta.comIG: @the_parenting_411TikTok: @theparenting411Facebook: The Parenting 411YouTube: The Parenting 411 on YouTube
