Love this article. Nice job, Dr. Sharnell Myles an Embark Behavioral Health!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Racism is a serious and pervasive problem that affects individuals of all different races. This article identifies the different races and the struggles they face, such as mental illness, racial trauma, and emotional issues. It is important to recognize and understand these issues in order to create a more equitable and just society. #embarkbh #hardconversations #minorities #teens #youngadults #resources #mentalhealth #racialtrauma #emotionalissues
When it comes to racism and mental health, the psychological effects of racism on a teen’s emotional well-being can be troubling. During childhood and adolescence, core beliefs and personality traits form. Being exposed to racism during this developmental stage increases the risk of mental illness, racial trauma, and emotional issues that can persist well into adulthood. --- To get a better insight into racism and mental health, including how teens are affected and the importance of treatment, we turned to Dr. Sharnell Myles, an Embark Behavioral Health vice president with a doctorate in psychology. Myles oversees Embark’s outpatient clinics in Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
