AAKOMA Project's 2025 Report: Pioneering Youth Mental Health Research for Young Adults of Color
The AAKOMA Project's Groundbreaking 2025 Report
The AAKOMA Project has made waves with the release of its latest endeavor: the 2025 State of Mental Health of Youth and Young Adults of Color (SOMHYOC) report. This comprehensive study stands as the largest of its type, analyzing the mental health experiences of nearly 9,000 youth and young adults of color across the United States. It builds upon the organization’s prior research and emphasizes a vital, data-driven narrative that reflects the needs and experiences of underrepresented communities.
Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble, founder of The AAKOMA Project, emphasizes the long-standing neglect of mental health concerns faced by these demographics.
