The Impact of Violence on Youth
These statistics highlight the importance of prevention and early intervention regarding psychoeducation for families about mental health and trauma from a communal standpoint:
-
Youth in the United States experience staggeringly high rates of gun deaths and injuries (CDC, 2019).
-
Youth are also significantly harmed, both emotionally and mentally when a friend or family member is killed with a gun, when someone they know is shot, and when they witness and hear gunshots (CDC, 2019).
-
Black and Latinx children and teens are impacted by gun violence at higher rates than their white peers (CDC, 2019).
-
Exposure to gun violence has an impact on children’s and teens’ psychological and mental well-being and affects their school performance, among other factors.
-
Although Black students represent 15% of the total K-12 school population in America, they make up 25% of K-12 victims of gunfire.
