Structural racism and implicit biases can affect clinical judgement and impede the delivery of effective mental health care. Based on a case of an adolescent Black girl navigating through the pediatric behavioral health system, this article discusses how structural racism and health disparities in behavioral health care contributed to misdiagnosis and poor care. The authors outline several actions at the structural, institutional, and interpersonal levels to address racism’s impact on pediatric mental and behavioral healthcare.
