Abstrakt:	Using data from the Pathways to Desistance Project, this study examined the bi-directional and longitudinal relationship between mental health symptoms and connectedness among 561 system involved Black youth. Higher mental health symptom scores at baseline increased connectedness scores one year later. Connectedness scores increased for two consecutive years until the transition to adulthood when participants were on average 19–20 years-old. During the transition to adulthood, mental health symptom scores worsened, highlighting the transition to adulthood as a key timepoint to administer supportive interventions addressing the mental health needs of Black youth who interact with the juvenile justice system.
