Description
Across generations, Black Americans have been compelled to cope with chronic racialized stress in ways that are physically and psychologically taxing. This webinar will explore how racial differences in psychophysiology and emotion regulation may serve as a mechanism for how racism gets under the skin and impacts the mental health of Black Americans. Specifically, the novel theoretical model—Culturally Compelled Coping—will be discussed, as well as ways this framework can inform clinical practices that aid at mitigating the negative mental health effects of racialized stress.
Format
Recorded webinar.

- Identify ways in which racism and coping with racism impacts the mental health and well-being of marginalized individuals
