Join Us: The Impact of Racial Trauma, Mental Health, and Well-Being in the Workplace

CHC is partnering with The Steve Fund to host an in-person & virtual event on March 1, 2023, at 3pm (EST). Please join us for a 90-minute interactive discussion on the mental health impacts of bias, racial trauma, and structural discrimination for young people of color, along with racial healing strategies and resources in both the workplace and everyday life.

This in-person and virtual discussion can help you:  

• Better recognize the effects of historical and current violence experienced by Black and Brown communities;
• Learn strategies to prioritize providing mental health and peer support resources in the workplace; and
• Determine practical ways to provide safe spaces for Black, Brown, and historically marginalized communities.

Space for this event is limited. Please register today. Guests attending virtually will receive confirmation and reminders for the event.
