Racism-Informed Wellness Models?

Updated: Apr 1, 2023



I found this article below, by Amanda Calhoun, MD, MPH, in the Psychiatric Times online. The author shares her experience considering racism's impact on her work with patients.


The author asks the question, "How does the experience of racism contribute to suicidal ideation and attempts" in black youth?


I am excited that this important topic is being explored in mainstream media! Please CLICK

IF YOU ARE ON MEDICATION PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP YOUR MEDICATION COLD TURKEY. TALK TO YOUR PRESCRIBER ABOUT GETTING OFF THEM USING A SLOW TAPER. I AM NOT A DOCTOR, PSYCHIATRIST, or TRAINED THERAPIST; THESE ARE THE OPINIONS OF A SURVIVOR.

 

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 (or your country's local emergency line) or go to an emergency room.

​

Be Prepared: Explain that it is a psychiatric emergency and ask for someone who is trained to help with one.
