This one-hour, four part series will address how systemic racism has contributed significantly to disparities in health and mental health for BIPOC communities. These historical inequities in mental health can also be seen in educational institutions.  Current and future education as well as treatment strategies committed to social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion will be provided.

The goals of this series are to:

a) more fully understand ways systemic racism has a direct impact on disparities in health and mental health for cultural and ethnic communities as well as BIPOC individually,

b) to recognize strategies clinically as well as educationally leading to greater equity, diversity and inclusion in clinical practice for mental wellness.

Session 2: Systemic Racism with Historical Inequities: Psychology Education and Mental Health Treatment

Wednesday, February 9, 2022 

12pm-1pm PST/2pm-3pm CT/3pm-4pm ET

The pandemic of racism is evident in microaggressions, assaults, and an array of racial traumas. In addition to managing current stressors, intergenerational trauma also has an impact on mental wellness. The field of psychology, while wanting to contribute to an understanding of “normality”, has also sometimes played a role in viewing those as socially marginalized in negatives ways.  This can be seen in psychology education and subsequent mental health treatment. An examination of some of the impacts within psychological institutions will be presented along with initiatives to transform them.

Learning Objectives:

 

After attending this introductory level program participants will be able to:

1)     describe ways in which racism is evident within social and service systems

2)     discuss ways in which racial traumas, past and present, contribute to stress and inequities
