SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program at the American Nurses Association alumnus Dr. Austin Nation joins host Indrias Kassaye for a frank discussion on the unique mental challenges that LGBTQ+ youth often face due to the intersection of their sexual orientation, gender identity and societal factors including racism, the opioid epidemic, and the impact of polarized political discourse where LGBTQ+ rights have become a prominent wedge issue.
Mental health related indicators including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and substance use disorders among LGBTQ+ youth are rising at alarming rates.

Mental Health Issues Among Immigrant Adolescents and Youth
SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program at the American Nurses Association alumna, Faven Mesfin joins Mental Health Trailblazers, Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up host, Indrias Kassaye, in this episode on the youth mental health challenges that immigrant adolescents and youth face in America today.
Young people from recent immigrant backgrounds are the fastest growing segment of America’s youth population today. The majority of them are from ethnic and racial minority groups. The youth mental health crisis that has been raising alarm bells is even more intense among these foreign born and first-generation young people where rates of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress syndrome reach up to double that of their peers.
Listen in as Faven and Indrias explore the mental health related challenges that immigrant youth are facing today – from the stress that comes with adapting to a new culture, the fallout from clashing norms and values, misunderstanding terminology, the nuances of language and how nurses can better fill the deficit in culturally competent behavioral health care providers that these adolescents and youth need to thrive.

Empowering Youth: Mental Health and Belonging
Our conversations on the mental health related challenges facing young people in America continues with a discussion on the importance of belonging for the mental wellness of adolescents and youth.
Public discourse in America today laments increasing polarization, a society wide retrenchment into siloed communities defined by characteristics which can include race and ethnic identity, religion, political affiliation, perspectives on gender roles and sexual orientation, and a whole host of other factors.
Mental Health Trailblazers, Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up host Indrias Kassaye is joined by SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program at the American Nurses Association Alumna Tricia Howard in episode 10 for an exploration of the mental health impact of these dynamics for adolescents and young people. Together they dissect what it means to belong, and critically, what happens when young people feel they do not belong, especially in the places and spaces that are essential for their growth and development as human beings, like school?
Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner Tricia Howard who has worked with the public school system for many years, brings valuable insights to this conversation, including recommendations for what behavioral health professionals, especially nurses, can do to ensure young people confronting issues related to their sense of belonging are able to overcome them, succeed and thrive.
FREE CNE credits are available for listening to this episode – see details below.
