Mental health in the news 💜⁠ ⁠ ⁠Black youth face multiple barriers in accessing mental health care, experts say.⁠ ⁠ The Black Physicians' Association of Ontario is holding a conference in Toronto on Saturday for family doctors, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and other health-care providers to address those issues and help them provide more culturally-safe care.⁠ ⁠ "Black youth experience the mental health system very differently than other races," said Dr. Mojola Omole, president of the association and a general surgeon in Toronto. ⁠ ⁠ "That is in part due to anti-Black racism and implicit biases," said Omole, who also works with the Canadian Medical Association Journal on addressing those issues in health care. ⁠ ⁠ Many Black youth have experienced trauma, sometimes stemming from racism or discrimination, which can affect their mental health and the way they express themselves, she said. ⁠ ⁠ Learn more at 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g5YhrB7u⁠ ⁠ #talkhatson #mentalhealthcanada #mentalhealthontario
