(In)Visibility Across Educational Spaces: Centering Mental Health & Wellness for Black Girls & Women

This thematic issue, (In)Visibility Across Educational Spaces: Centering Mental Health & Wellness for Black Girls & Women, reflects a collection of recent scholarship centering the experiences of Black girls and women across the educational pipeline. Notably, the scholarship represented uniquely focuses on the influence of mental health and wellness on their educational success and academic outcomes. This collection of articles serves as a resource for individuals (i.e., teachers/professors, administrators, counselors, and psychologists) working in educational environments who seek to increase their awareness of the mental health issues Black girls/women face and to identify innovative ways to address these concerns in their professional roles.
