Course Description:

Race-based injustices not only effect the physical well-being of African Americans, resulting in health inequities; it also effects the mental health status of African Americans and their wider communities, resulting in behavioral inequities. This presentation will explore the emotional race-based injustices of racial trauma, types of race-based traumatic stresses, racial battle fatigue, racial imposter syndrome and post traumatic slave syndrome. Diagnostic, assessment, and treatment approaches will be presented to address these emotional race-based injustices.
