"Over several decades, there has been a plethora of academic work that demonstrates the impact of #racialdiscrimination on the #mentalhealth of Black people. Studies have been conducted; reports have been generated; and a multitude of policy recommendations have been made."

Emergency department visits for asthma among children under 4 decreased 12% in zip codes near 3 coal-fired power plants following their closures relative to rates in zip codes farther away during the same period. Closing coal-fired power plants can lead to improvements in the respiratory health of young children.

In the words of one psychologist:
“I have not found any one traditional therapy relevant for Black clients. I have taken bits and pieces from Euro-American therapies and added a considerable amount of cultural knowledge and understanding to enable proper engagement with my Black clients.”

"In 2023, there has been no significant progress in making psychotherapy relevant for Black clients. Similar to many other policy issues affecting Black communities, these inequities are well-documented; there is more than enough evidence of deep-seated injustices. Thus, moving forward, the focus must be on real, meaningful, tangible change."

Hi, all! Emily here for an #intoduction after poking around for a few days. I am a PhD candidate in #socialwelfare (aka #socialwork ). My research and practice interests include #mentalhealth #socialdeterminants #trauma #healthdisparities as well as #equity in #education. Some of my non -research interests include #books (mostly the #fiction kind) #nature and #travel 🌞
Looking forward to building a #community here!

#Strikes by #HealthcareWorkers invite everyone into a conversation about what matters to us, what are we here for, what do we prioritise? Historically, care & treatment is a social sieve, separating haves from have-nots, but we now have the data on #socialdeterminants of #mentalhealth; it turns out #inequity is bad for ALL of us, not just the poor.
How do we value caring, & how do we value equity?
It seems obvious to me, but apparently this government thinks there are many for whom it's not.
