CONCORD — Former Rowan County Sheriff's Office Deputy Jessica Argo assisted as an intern with Inspire of the Carolina's Inc. which recently held its inaugural Mental Health Awareness Sneaker Ball as part of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. The event was meant to highlight health disparities for African Americans and that only 4% of mental health therapists are African American. Data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show almost 60% of teen girls across the United States have had persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness since the pandemic.
