Panel discussion on the rise of suicide in the black community with black women with lived-experience of suicide loss and surviving suicide.

YoShow Place

<h3>I﻿n honor of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Month, we are shedding light on suicide in the Black community. Observed each July, BIPOC Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges and needs of historically disenfranchised or oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the United States.</h3><h3></h3><h3>Many people in the Black community are told suicide is a "white people thing." In fact, suicide is among the leading cause of death in the United States and increasing rapidly among Blacks. Rates of suicide among Black youth have risen faster than in any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades, with suicide rates in Black males 10-19 years-old increasing by 60%. Early adolescent Black youth are twice as likely to die by suicide as compared to their white counterparts. </h3><h3></h3><h3>T﻿his event is a candid conversation p﻿resented by Black People Die By Suicide Too, Mental Health Empowerment Agency, A Resting Place Counseling, and Graceland Therapeutics featuring black women who are mental health professionals with experience of losing loved ones to suicide and surviving suicide. </h3><h3></h3><h3>I﻿f you can't attend, please consider making a donation of any amount that will go toward suicide prevention in the black community. Our goal is to raise $5,000. No amount is too small. </h3><h3></h3><h3>*N﻿o refunds but your ticket can be used for a future training or event.*</h3>
