NYU McSilver Podcasts

The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research at New York University is committed to creating new knowledge about the root causes of poverty, developing evidence-based interventions to address its consequences, and rapidly translating research findings into action through policy and best practices. Poverty is about more than lacking the resources to meet basic needs, such as food, clothing and shelter. We recognize the interrelatedness of race, gender and poverty. NYU McSilver is dedicated to spreading awareness about social issues impacting vulnerable communities individuals, as well as evidence-based solutions. Since 2018, the McSilver Institute has launched two seasons of ”Black Boys and Men: Changing the Narrative,” as well as collaborated with the Danya Institute and Central East MHTTC to produce “Saving Young Black Lives: Reversing Suicide Trends.” In 2023, the McSilver Institute introduced “People, Perspectives, and Policy,” a series of conversations exploring a variety of mental health topics and their intersection with social services and public health policy.
