Abstract:
Adolescence marks a critical period of identity formation, as young people navigate questions about who they are and where they belong in a diverse social landscape. For ethnoracially minoritized youth, this process is often complicated by systemic inequities and racialized stressors, which elevate their risk for mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression.1 Amid these adversities, developing a strong ethnic-racial identity-a sense of pride, belonging, and connection to one's racial or ethnic group-emerges as a crucial foundation for resilience.2.
