Recent Supreme Court rulings have served to highlight the court’s long-standing effect on the lives of marginalized peoples. These rulings are only part of the court’s larger history of systemic injustice that disproportionately affects minority communities, and yet is rarely considered in the day-to-day practice of working with people seeking mental health services.

Instructor
- Micah Pearson is Secretary of the NAMI Board of Directors and the Executive Director of NAMI of Southern New Mexico. He first learned about NAMI through taking a peer-to-peer class, after which he encouraged his parents to take the NAMI Family-to-Family class. This ended up saving his life years later after he experienced multiple hospitalizations and the all-too-common de facto hospital that is the criminal justice system. Through his affiliation with NAMI, Micah hopes to address the social determinants of health (specifically diversity, equity and inclusion-related issues) and their impact on mental health treatment. As an advocate, he is also a member of the Opioid +360 substance use reduction group, and member of the Local Behavioral Health Collaborative and has expertise in information systems, criminal justice and public policy. As an artist, his art has been featured at the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building and had three gallery shows and authored multiple books; the last of which was A Peek Inside: Illustrated Journeys in Life With Mental Illness.
