Stamps spoke about organizing the event series “S.H.O.P. Talk” (Sharing Hope and Overcoming Pressure) to create a safe space for young people to address challenges and receive support in the setting of a barbershop or beauty salon. “We witness the healing and connection that happens in these safe and trusted spaces,” said Hanna Kite, community behavioral health director at Cook County Department of Public Health, which participated in the “S.H.O.P. Talk” sessions. “The mental health crisis is real,” Kite added. Cook County Justice Advisory Council executive director Avik Das stated, “We recognize that exposure to the aftermath of gun violence, unaddressed trauma and the persistent barriers to accessing quality mental health care disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities, struggling under historic disinvestment and lack of resources.”</p>","PeriodicalId":100916,"journal":{"name":"Mental Health Weekly","volume":"35 22","pages":"7-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144171737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
