Black Deaths Matter Clinicians' Insights on Suicide

By Bertha Shanahan

Journey into the heart of a complex and deeply rooted issue with this groundbreaking project that confronts the multi-faceted human experience of suicide, casting a spotlight on its threatening impact within Black communities in the contemporary United States. Drawing on historical data, critical theories, and existing research literature, this project unravels the intricate interplay between macro-systemic forces and individual meaning-making processes, offering a nuanced exploration of the dynamic complexities involved.

Central to this project is the amplification of critical perspectives from fourteen Black female clinicians whose marginalized identities, intersectional lived experiences, critical orientations, and clinical training uniquely position them to analyze and comprehend the intricate links between suicides in Black communities and oppressive macro-systemic dynamics or individual-level psychological factors.
