The United States first nation-wide mental health crisis hotline (988) has gone live, as previously reported by The Associated Press. The intent is to replace responding police and paramedics with psychiatric counselors. Given the number of Black people who needed mental help and ended up being arrested, this seems like a solution.

But, some remain skeptical about whether Black people will truly benefit from this new service.

The American Psychiatric Association confirmed what we know: Black people receive poorer quality care and lack access to culturally competent care. Our youth, between the ages of 14 and 18, have been making suicide attempts at higher rates than any other race, according to the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey.

“A lot of people are just now learning that the unfortunate reality for a lot of Black youth is that they are dying. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that mental health conditions are often underdiagnosed or are not adequately treated for the conditions that they have,” said Dr. Christine Crawford, associate medical director for NAMI, via ABC News.

Statistics like these are what make people doubtful in the 988 hotline.
