Strengthening Our Community

Run, walk, and roll to help individuals and organizations that support awareness programs and provide services to improve the mental health of young people of color. 

Meet the APA for an In-Person 5K Run, Walk, and Roll 
Wheaton Regional Park in Wheaton, M.D.
Check-in starts at 7am, July 20th

Participate in the 5K Run, Walk, and Roll from your Home Community:
All Day, July 20th 

The American Psychiatric Association (APA)'s Division of Diversity and Health Equity invites you to join us in combating mental health inequities facing young people of color and in honoring mental health advocate Bebe Moore Campbell. This annual event has been a priority for me as my practice began over 20 yrs ago in a Navajo community working with families impacted by youth suicide attempts. American Indian/Alaska Native youth have the highest rate of suicide of any racial/ethnic group.  The suicide rate for black youth has been increasing. Since 2020  the leading cause of death in Asian American youth ages 15-21 is suicide.  My current research in mental health disparities highlights the gaps & inequities in mental health care that we would like to remedy. Your time and dollars go a long way in making a difference for young people of color facing the mental health challenges and the impact of systemic racism. 

Please consider making a contribution today to partner with us to bolster community programs serving youth of color.  You can also  register and get ready to run, walk, and roll with us in-person on Saturday, July 20th in Maryland or in your own community to show support. Your efforts help promote awareness and raise funds to support community organizations that have undertaken innovative awareness programs and/or have provided services to improve the mental health of young people of color.

Together we can achieve #MooreEquityInMentalHealth!
