We can’t address the Black youth mental health crisis without more Black mental health workers.
“Why won’t that kid shut the fuck up?” a male mental health worker yelled.On the outside, I kept my voice level and calm, because as a Black woman, I don’t have the freedom to yell or curse at work without repercussions. But on the inside, I was irate about their lack of empathy and compassion toward a child entrusted in our care. I was the on-call psychiatrist and had just arrived on the child inpatient unit after being paged for a behavioral code.
I’d developed a good therapeutic relationship with him, probably because I treated him like a human who was struggling. But I had also taken the time to observe him. I knew that loud noises triggered him and that he had trouble with transitions. When staff changed shifts, noisily arriving and departing, he tended to become upset. And that was exactly what happened that day.
