ABSTRACT
This autoethnographic study, "Crossroads of Care A Black Social Worker's Insights into the Lives of Black Men from Adolescence to Adulthood," explores the intersections of race, education, and mental health throughout the life course of Black men. Drawing on varied professional and personal experiences - from providing telehealth services for college students to being a resource within a predominantly Black high school - the research illuminates systemic barriers and profound effects of marginalization and isolation. Emphasizing evidence-based social work interventions and culturally relevant care, the study underscores the importance of narrative therapy and self-disclosure in addressing Black men's multifaceted needs. The findings contribute to discussions on racial equity in mental health and education, offering actionable recommendations for practitioners, policymakers, and educators to strengthen support systems. Advocating for a comprehensive care model, this research endeavors to empower Black men across various life milestones, enhancing well-being by addressing the complexities of race, education, and mental health.
