A one-hour, educational session that examines the mental health and well-being challenges Black Canadians face: Understanding and addressing anti-Black racism in all forms is an essential competency. However, in order for these efforts to be effective, there must be a foundational level of knowledge about what anti-Black racism is and the many factors that contribute to racialized outcomes.
Participants will:
- explore the cultural strengths and protective factors that can mitigate risks associated with both the social determinants of health (SDH) and systemic racism.
- learn about the intersections of racial and culturally rooted stigma and the impact on help-seeking behaviors and recovery.
- discuss the prevalence patterns associated with racism and racialized health outcomes.
