This chapter presents information on mental health issues in African American children, focusing on exposure to violence, maltreatment/punitive parenting, and limited access to mental health services as major challenges to the maintenance of mental health in this group; extended social supports, firm, appropriately restrictive parents, and robust self-esteem as strengths contributing to resilience this group; and the need to recognize the diversity among African American children while identifying and addressing the needs of those children most at risk.
