As the co-president of Active Minds at Vanderbilt University, a student studying psychology and public health, and as an Asian American woman, I’ve seen first-hand the effects that a lack of inclusive mental health support and resources can have on a community.

The study – done by researchers at Harvard Medical School, the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins, Drexel University, and Duke University – found that the odds of dying for Blacks were 26% higher than for white counterparts and that much of that life expectancy gap can be attributed to wealth differences.
