Black Youth Resilience in Minnesota
Black teens and young adults in Minnesota are challenged by the politicization of race, the killing of George Floyd and the COVID-19 pandemic, all disproportionately affecting their communities.

Call to Mind correspondent Alisa Roth was joined by a panel of youth and mental health experts for an in-depth, interactive virtual town hall discussion. The event was co-produced by American Public Media’s Call to Mind and MPR News as part of the Well Beings Youth Mental Health Project and its Well Beings Tour, presented by WETA.
