Representatives of state and local health care providers and youth-serving organizations joined this community dialogue to emphasize a commitment to supporting young people.

Participants shared: - Ways that their organizations could promote adolescent health and well-being; - The expertise and resources they bring to that effort; - Groups or organizations they want to partner with; and - Perspectives that have historically been missing from the conversation.

Although White populations exhibit the highest prevalence of mental health diagnoses, it is non-White populations that often bear a disproportionate share of the costs associated with mental health struggles. This disparity stems from a combination of socioeconomic factors, healthcare access issues, and cultural stigmas that affect non-White communities more severely. Addressing these disparities requires targeted efforts to improve mental health literacy, expand access to culturally competent care, and reduce socioeconomic barriers. By ensuring that non-White populations receive early and appropriate mental health interventions, we can mitigate the long-term costs and improve overall health outcomes for these communities.
