The Community Talk Back and Youth Summit titled “We Have A Voice Too,” provided students from 8th to 12th to share and learn in community engagement at the Shaw JCC and Lippman School. Students also learned how they can engage, learn, and volunteer with local organizations and universities.

International guests from the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) also engaged with the youth under a multi-regional project, “Not Too Young to Run, Engaging Youth in the Political Process.”

These guests are invited to the United States under the auspices of the Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program. Their program is arranged by Mississippi Consortium for International Development.

Su***de Prevention in Black and Other Communities of Color (Presentation)

On January 10, 2023, the Su***de Prevention Coalition of Summit County presented the Su***de Prevention in Black and Other Communities of Color, provided by Josephine Ridley, Ph.D.

Despite an overall decrease in US su***des during the pandemic, BIPOC populations either maintained or increased in rates of su***de. An alarming trending upwards of su***des among African American youth has made the headlines of most major news outlets. Individuals who attend this seminar will discuss these trends with the intent to help reduce su***des in the Summit County area. Specifically, attendees will focus on the rates of su***de across the Black and other communities of color, recognize su***de risk and protective factors specific to BIPOC populations, and discuss strategies to prevent su***des among Black and other communities of color.

The video includes chapter markers and timestamps within the video description.

Beginning July 16, you can dial 988 and be connected to mental health support. If you’re having suicidal thoughts, a substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress, dial this number.
Just like you can dial 911 if you are in danger or physically injured, starting July 16 anyone in the US can call or text 988 to talk to mental health counselors with the existing National Su***de Prevention Lifeline.
The new, easy-to-remember code puts you in touch with free and confidential support 24/7. It’s for anyone experiencing thoughts of su***de, a substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress.
This is the National su***de prevention lifeline. The current number is 1-800-273-8255.

"What we wanted to do was to get as many community members in one space as possible to talk about how effectively we could change and impact our community. We have community development corporations, we have organizations that have been boots on the ground here in our neighborhoods for a while, but what we haven't always collectively captured is the Black voice in our community."
