Abstract
This presentation will describe the various barriers and impacts that marginalized youth experience in regard to accessing adequate mental health care (ex. therapy, diagnoses, psychiatric evaluations, mentoring, etc.). Over the course of 2023-2024 academic year, we’ve been mentoring a middle-schooler in accordance with The Cities Mentoring Project in hopes to empower youth throughout Chicago Public Schools. Throughout our time in this program, we’ve been able to better understand the influence that CBPR research can have on marginalized youth’s mental health, and how this research is directly working with marginalized youth to build various skills that contribute to their overall well-being
