What Is Seein' is Believin'?
Who We Are
Since 2017, suicide has been the second leading cause of death in those 10-19 years old. Rates of suicide among Black youth have risen faster than in any other racial/ethnic group in the past two decades, with suicide rates in Black males 10-19 years-old increasing by 60%. Early adolescent Black youth are twice as likely to die by suicide as compared to their white counterparts according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Seein' is Believin' is committed to diversifying and creating spaces of triage for youth in crisis and supporting communities in better responding to our youth. Recognizing that our communities have limited access to children of color. Seein' is Believin aims supports communities with Youth and Teen Mental Health First Aid Trainings, Youth Mental Health Retreats and Social Emotional Resilience workshops.
Seein' is Believin' also offers training for organizations in Youth Protection and Youth Program Management. We train organizations on how to intentionally engage with youth of color. We also provide Life Readiness Training for youth ages 16-24 who need additional support in planning what is next in life.
Engaging Presenters
We know that representation matters in helping youth see themselves in their future careers. Our presenters are trailblazers in their respective fields and are excited to share their expertise, experience, and passion to your youth.
Our presenters look forward to partnering with your teachers, tell their stories, present life changing workshops, and discuss how their cultural backgrounds influence their professions today. Our workshops also infuse life readiness skills because we recognize that some students may not be ready to go straight to college from high school. Our life readiness workshops include vocational prep, college prep, and personal leadership.
Wide Variety of Online Cultural Infusion Programming
Our infusions are focused in engaging and inspiring youth in ways that traditional curriculum does not always do. Samples of our work include:
- Youth Voices Programming-Visual and Performing Arts
- Improving math, science, and history classes through culturally based life readiness cooking classes
- Infusing traditional music curriculum with multicultural composers, singers, and dancers
