The institute, in partnership with The Steve Fund, recently released findings from its mental health support for Black families study. The comprehensive literature review and nationally representative survey exposes a shift in views toward mental health within the Black community - and highlights significant gaps in access and quality of mental healthcare. The study was made possible by the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children's Mental Health.

During the panel discussion, experts will discuss the findings of the study and how mental health professionals, organizations, and communities can break down barriers and improve the quality of mental health care for Black children and young adults.

Topics will include:

• Shifts in views toward mental health

• Parent vs. young adult response to stigma

• Barriers to quality care

• Medication skepticism

• Intervention and prevention initiatives

Continuing medical education credits for psychiatrists and continuing education credits for psychologists and social workers are available to registered course participants.

The event will run from noon to 1:30 p.m. ET on May 14. Register now.
