An important part of mental health is feeling heard and understood. If you have privilege, we encourage you to do the research, find ways to support Black people and people of color, and make permanent changes in your community to combat racism:
- What is Systematic Racism? - an easy-to-understand video series
- Educational Resources via Black Lives Matter
- Talking About Race - National Museum of African American History
- History of Racist US Laws and their effects throughout American history
- The Road Not Taken - Housing and Criminal Justice 50 Years After the Kerner Commission Report
- Social Exclusion: The Decisions and Dynamics that Drive Racism
Remember there are mental health resources for you, family and friends.
