Beliefs about mental health could substantially influence Black boys’ understanding of mental health as well as their motivation to seek mental health support when needed. Studies have reported that boys, in general, are more likely to report negative views and hold more stigmatized ideas of mental health (compared to girls), which is associated with poorer help-seeking behaviors (Chandra and Minkovitz 2006). This becomes even more complicated for Black boys as they are navigating gendered ideas of mental health, racially socialized ideas of mental health, as well as how properly to address mental health needs. Despite growing research dedicated to investigating the mental health of Black boys, few directly examine experiences with their perceptions and understanding of mental health conditions such as depression.

High Schools
We continue to see an increase in the number of programs dedicated to the mental health of Black/African American adolescent boys. Despite this growth, little work has focused on exploring and supporting Black adolescent boys’ experiences with mental health, perceptions of manhood, and social support.
