This podcast episode highlights the critical work of the ACOMA Project, led by Dr. Alfiee, in addressing mental health disparities for youth of color through the lens of intersectionality, advocacy, and research. It underscores the need for understanding diverse identities and their unique experiences while navigating the mental health crisis exacerbated by stigma and systemic barriers.
