Mental Health Across Marginalized Communities
Mental health is the result of internal and external social factors like race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. Unsurprisingly, people from marginalized communities are more likely to develop mental health disorders. In this health talk session, participants will explore how underrepresented groups face unique challenges, from a lack of diverse care providers to consult to chronic discrimination. Participants who belong in these marginalized communities will walk away with actionable coping strategies, and participants outside of these communities will walk away with tools to reduce and prevent behavior that may be intentionally or unintentionally contributing to mental health disparities.

Talking to Children About Race
Children start recognizing people by race as early as three months, though babies don't process race the same way teens or adults do. Even so, this shows that taking a colorblind stance on race sets up children to develop biases and unanswered questions about the world around them. In this health talk session, attendees will learn how to speak openly and truthfully about race with children and family. You will craft actionable steps to help children develop racial fluency, address implicit and explicit racial biases, and shape their understanding of systemic racism in an age-appropriate way.
