McGill researcher’s program aims to help marginalized young Black men to succeed
Other data shows that while 94 per cent of Black youth state that they would like to get a university degree, only 17 per cent of them do — half the rate of young Black women, who are at 34 per cent.
This caught the attention of Dr. Rob Whitley, associate professor in the department of psychiatry at McGill University, and a research scientist at the Douglas Hospital. Whitley recently set up a federally funded, innovative program called Flex2Launch, geared towards helping marginalized young Black men in Montreal to succeed.
