Stanford University visiting professor Michael Lindsey, an expert in child and adolescent mental health, will discuss the rise of suicide attempts among Black youth on May 4 at Sacred Heart Schools, Atherton (SHS), according to a school press release.
The presentation aims to raise awareness about mental health struggles in young people and provide access to the community on better comprehending what it means to acknowledge and protect young Black lives.
"During the course of my work I have found that mental health struggles aren't always recognized as such in our young people," Lindsey said in a statement. "I hope to illuminate ways for students and their families to understand each other better and have the tools to support each other in having difficult conversations about mental health."
James Everitt, Sacred Heart's chief mission, culture and strategy officer, said the discussion will provide a safe space for SHS community members and the greater community to engage with an expert on the topic of adolescent suicide prevention.
A key focus of the presentation will be on "helping teens and families speak candidly on what it means to navigate depression together."
Lindsey holds a doctorate and master's degrees in social work and public health from New York University.
The lecture is open to the public and takes place in person at 6:30 p.m. in Harman Auditorium in the Homer Science Center at SHS, 150 Valparaiso Ave., in Atherton. It will also be streamed online. Register at tinyurl.com/michaellindseylecture.
Any person who is feeling depressed, troubled or suicidal can call 1-800-784-2433 to speak with a crisis counselor. People in Santa Clara County can call 855-278-4204. Spanish speakers can call 1-888-628-9454.
