On Tuesday a gunman killed at least 19 children, 1 teacher, and at least 1 other adult in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. These precious children were killed while simply attending school are now among the thousands of young people injured or killed by guns during the past year. In fact, analysis of CDC data recently published by the New England Journal of Medicine reveals that in 2020 firearms became the leading cause of death for young Americans. In December, the U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a public health advisory on the youth mental health crisis that has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The rate of death by self-inflicted gunshot wound has risen faster among adolescents and teens than any other group.  We speak to Dr. Michael Lindsey, Executive Director at the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research at New York University, to better understand death by suicide and its connection of the mental health of young people. A school shooting like this is an enraging act of violence which can lead young people who are already struggling, to feel even more vulnerable, distraught, or hopeless. We spoke to three young people who have faced mental health challenges and have all become advocates for their own well-being and that of their peers, before the mass shooting in Uvalde, and we think that this event makes it even more crucial to keep thinking about the emotional well-being and mental health of young people.  We heard from Diana Chao, founder and executive director of Letters to Strangers, Juan Acosta, mental health advocate, and Charlie Lucas, co-founder of the notOK app.

The bill, written following nine months of work by the Congressional Black Caucus Emergency Taskforce on Black Youth Suicide and Mental Health, authorizes $805 million in grants and other funding to support research, improving the pipeline of culturally competent providers, build outreach programs that reduce stigma, and develop a training program for providers to effectively manage disparities".

Our Guest: This week on BeREAL, Diana and Ednesha are joined by Dr. Michael Lindsey. The episode focuses on how to uplift student mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.   Dr. Michael Lindsey is the Executive Director at the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research in the NYU Silver School of Social Work. Dr. Lindsey has multiple lines of research at the moment, but his work focuses on how to improve mental health experiences for the youth, especially in schools. He also works with moms who have PTSD and require mental health interventions through the program Save Mothers, Save Children. This Week on BeREAL: The episode begins as Dr. Lindsey explains the importance of improving student mental health. He views this effort as a way to break the cycle of generational poverty, and build a better future for people from all backgrounds. He ties this mission into the current day, and goes over the threats COVID-19 poses on student socialization. Schools play an important role in maintaining a healthy mental wellbeing for children. This comes from school sanctioned social workers, but also from everyday social interactions with classmates. How will this affect the students who currently have to do all their schoolwork online? Will mental health services dwindle because of online education, and are schools now just an educational institute? That is what Dr. Lindsey is here to discuss, how we can use virtual learning to be a tool of improving mental health instead of hindering it.    The conversation concludes as your hosts discuss the best way to administer adolescent therapy during these times. Due to stay at home orders, children are struggling to hold online therapy sessions in a place that is completely private. Dr. Lindsey is advocating for a collaboration of therapists, teachers, and parents to create the best environment for positive mental health stimulation at this time.    Thank you so much for tuning in this week to BeREAL. Be on the lookout for a brand new episode next week, but in the meantime, make sure to catch last week's episode if you haven' already.   As mentioned in the episode, if you would like to talk to a professional to get feedback on what is currently happening in your life, and if it warrants the involvement of a mental health professional please don't hesitate to call +1(888)-NYC-WELL.   Our Practice: For more information on The BeREAL Podcast and BeWELL Psychotherapy visit the links below.    To schedule an appointment text BeWELL to 484848 today    www.beher-now.com    facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Be.WELL.Psychotherapy/   instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewell.psychotherapy/

She represents the 55th Assembly District in the New York State Legislature as a member of the Housing, Election Law, Energy, Correction, and Insurance Committees. Currently, she serves as the Chair for the Subcommittee on Renewable Energy. I find myself as a State Legislator able to utilize, whatever it is I’m able to bring to the table, to remove barriers from the people I represent so that we’re able to get through the door, and the one thing I always leave people with is that I’m not here to kick the door open, I want to take it off the hinges so that it can never go back on again. Rose Pierre-Louis is the Deputy Director for Administration and External Affairs of The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research at New York University’s Silver School of Social Work which is committed to creating new knowledge about the root causes of poverty, developing evidence-based interventions to address its consequences, and rapidly translating research findings into action through policy and practice. She holds a BS in political science from Tufts University and a JD from Case Western University School of Law. Pierre-Louis is known as a force for social and economic change, and possessing extensive public sector experience. I’m use to rapid response and academia works at a different pace...You write this great research paper and it gets into some academic journal and that’s it. No, we have to think about how do we get this information to people that can really benefit from it...

Michael Tanner’s *The Inclusive Economy* is about giving the poor control over their own lives

A few weeks ago, Elizabeth Nolan Brown explained how the War on Sex Workers is making the problems usually associated with prostitution worse. I noted that it seems like a rule that whenever government declares war on something, bad things happen.The War on Poverty has been no exception. In the 1960s, Lyndon Johnson sought prevent and even cure poverty, much like Nixon unsuccessfully sought to cure cancer. Some 60 years later, the poor are still with us and bad policies alleviate poverty effectively trap them there.The Cato Institute's Michael Tanner has written the definitive book on a libertarian anti-poverty policy. The Inclusive Economy: How to Bring Wealth to America's Poor is both readable yet scholarly. It plots the history of welfare from the Middle Ages to the present, and shows how the current system arose from two conflicting outlooks about why poverty exists. Both liberals and conservatives have missed the mark in their diagnosis and, more importantly, their cure for poverty.Free markets and exponential growth have lifted millions of Americans out of poverty, but government continues to create artificial barriers that keep people stuck on the lower rungs of the economic ladder. We can start by pointing out the harmful effects of minimum wages, occupational licensing and the like, but it goes much beyond this.A Short Lesson in Marginal Tax RatesRule #1 for thinking clearly about welfare is that incentives matter. Rule #2 is that we have to think at the margin. In other words, we have to ask what the incentives are for a person at the poverty line to earn or save an additional dollar? Since many benefits are conditional on low income or a scarcity of savings, the poor are faced with the devil's dilemma of either bettering themselves and losing their free benefits, or remaining economically secure wards of the state.The marginal tax rate for people just above the poverty rate is 34%, meaning 1/3 of every additional dollar earned goes to the government. That puts them in a higher bracket than those earning more than $250,000 a year.Stopping the Blame GameTanner notes that while conservatives are likely to blame the poor for a lack of personal responsibility — citing a “culture of poverty” as the reason for their poverty — liberals tend to focus too much on structural issues. While both cultural and structural causes are real, they are also hard to disentangle. Debating which factor predominates is usually done to assign blame to some group to score political points. Both sides share a paternalistic attitude that uses poverty as an excuse to limit freedom of choice, and neither side acknowledges what actually works to alleviate poverty.Like a good doctor, Tanner's approach is to “first do no harm.” From poverty traps, to dismal public schools, to incarceration for victimless crimes, the government already does a great deal to guarantee the existence of an entrenched lower class.Tanner's book points to five specific areas where we can help the poor by enhancing freedom and helping people become captains of their own fate. Hear what these areas are, on the show of ideas, not attitude.

Maria and Julio are joined by two In The Thick All Star guests, Wajahat Ali, TV host and contributor to The New York Times, and Christina Greer, professor at Fordham University and fellow at NYU's McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research. They catch up on the weekend's news: the power of youth at the March For Our Lives demonstrations and the Stormy Daniels 60 Minutes interview. The convo also digs into the recent package bombings in Austin and how race is framed in the national conversation about ideological violence. How do the media and authorities approach an act of violence when a suspect or victim is white, as opposed to when the suspect or victim is a person of color and/or Muslim?

When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, the black community owned less than one percent of the United States’ total wealth. More than 150 years later, that number has barely budged. According to a new book by Mehrsa Baradaran, The Color of Money, this absence of wealth isn't just a failure to atone for oppression imposed by slavery and Jim Crow — it's the product of contemporary acts to maintain their legacies. Today, the racial wealth gap persists in building wealth for those who already have it and sowing debt among those who don't. Many policies animated by this trend — fees and fines levied my municipal governments and the criminal justice system; residential segregation; the rise of predatory payday lenders — disappear mainstream banks from communities of color, pass off responsibility of investment in their wealth, and enforce conditions that disproportionately push them from profit to poverty. Join New America NYC and the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research for a conversation with legal, business, and racial equity leaders on the fight for economic justice and how to pioneer strategies that reform how government works — and who it serves.
