Pandemic

Since the pandemic emerged, mental health experts have predicted the emotional and mental stressors created during the pandemic would lead to a rise in suicides. In 2020, the rise in Suicides rocketed within the Black community-particularly with youth and young adults in Chicago. This rise was the highest in five years for Cook County-one of the largest populated counties in Illinois. While suicides declined among ethnic groups, they increased among Blacks in every age group according to Cook County Data (Cook County medical examiner reports; 5/21) With the rise in suicides, the black community in Chicago must now face an imperative question? What are the systemic issues causing the rise in Suicides, What is the TRUE relationship between black community and mental wellness, and what can be done to address it.
