- Nicole Anderson (Therapist)
Abstract
This session will provide attendees with an understanding of the impact attending a Predominately White Institution has on the mental health of students of color. After learning how profiling, discrimination, and covert and overt racism can manifest itself into anxiety, depression, and negative sense of self, attendees will be complete exercises to help them develop coping mechanisms and discuss the importance of utilizing mental health counseling for long-term support. Conversations will also be held on ways faculty, staff, and administration can work to support the mental health of students of color on campus.
