On behalf of Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Incorporat

On behalf of Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Incorporated, we extend our deepest condolences on the recent loss of our brother, Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity’s Founding Father, Jose Sabater. He was a great man whose leadership qualities led to a movement greater than his wildest dreams. His love for both the LSU & MSU organizations was recognized by everyone he encountered. We extend deepest condolences to his immediate family, loved ones and every Upsilon’s life he has impacted. We can’t express the gratitude we have towards Founding Father Jose Sabater, who always valued our shared traditions. His impact on both our organizations will live on and continue to inspire the unity of the Upsilon Family.

Thank you for all of your contributions and your leadership. May his empowering spirit live on forever and May he rest in peace in the baby blue sky 🩵🤍

National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is

National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is observed each July to bring awareness to the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness due to negative perceptions and cultural stigma around mental health and lack of access to mental health care services.

Check out @minorityhealth and learn how we can start the conversation about managing mental health.

Quick statistics on health disparities:

Suicide was the leading cause of death for Asian/Pacific Islanders as well as Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders, ages 15 to 24, in 2019.

In 2019, suicide was the second leading cause of death for American Indian/Alaska Natives between the ages of 10 and 34.

In 2019, suicide was the second leading cause of death for Hispanics, ages 15 to 34.

In 2020, suicide was the third leading cause of death, respectively, for blacks or African Americans, ages 15 to 24.

In 2018, Asians were 60 percent less likely to have received mental health treatment as compared to non-Hispanic whites.

In 2018, Hispanics were 50 percent less likely to have received mental health treatment as compared to non-Hispanic whites.

In 2019, Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders were three times less likely to receive mental health services or to receive prescription medications for mental health treatment as compared to non-Hispanic whites

Poverty level affects mental health status. Black or African Americans living below the poverty level, as compared to those over twice the poverty level, are twice as likely to report serious psychological distress.

Hispanics living below the poverty level, as compared to Hispanics over twice the poverty level, are likewise twice as likely to report serious psychological distress
