    Abstract

    African American men seek mental health services at significantly lower levels than do their White counterparts. The authors explore the role of mentoring for young African American men and discuss impediments to their success at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Additionally, examples are presented of evidence-based interventions and recommendations for effectively working with African American men.
