Racism is a social determinant of health and creates toxic stress in children, teens and families that impacts their health. Children will not be able to reach their full potential until we prevent and counteract these experiences for all children--in medicine and everyday life.
I am watching the events in Minneapolis and other cities, and my heart is breaking that we have not come further in combating racism in this country. Racism harms the mental health and physical health of children, teens and families. ow.ly/ggjJ50zU90h
