Black People Die By Suicide Too?
Yes, we do!
Many people in the black community are told suicide is a "white people thing." In fact, suicide is among the leading cause of death in the United States and increasing rapidly among Blacks. Rates of suicide among Black youth have risen faster than in any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades, with suicide rates in Black males 10-19 years-old increasing by 60%. Early adolescent Black youth are twice as likely to die by suicide as compared to their white counterparts.
The Black People Die By Suicide Too Podcast is hosted by two black women with lived experience. T-Kea is a suicide attempt survivor whose cousin also died by suicide. Jordan has struggled with suicide ideation. They are determined to educate and dismantle the stigma surrounding suicide in their community.
