3X The infant mortality rate is three times greater for Black babies compared to white babies in NYC.
32,993 NYC children under 3 received Early Intervention services in 2018. 1 out of 6 Black children referred to Early Intervention services never receive an evaluation.
35% of high school students report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. These rates are twice as high for lesbian, gay, or bisexual students compared to their heterosexual peers.
