Abstract
The objective of this article is to address the existing informational gap about the mental health of Black males. This article examines the phenomenon of intergenerational trauma among Black males, explores the historical events that have contributed to the emergence of hurdles faced by this demographic, and sheds light on the prevailing mental health diagnoses widespread within the Black male population. By consistently restating the established facts presented in this article and providing potential solutions, it is anticipated that this will attract the interest of mental health experts, educators in the field of social work, and policymakers. By fostering collaboration among academics, practitioners, and educators, a collective effort may be made to enhance our understanding of the mental health of Black males and identify strategies to effectively address their specific needs.
