Empowering Parents to Navigate Cultural and Racial Stress in Black Youth
Dr. Erlanger “Earl” Turner will explore the psychological impact of racial discrimination and cultural stress on Black youth. Despite the prevalence of these stressors, approximately 80% of Black youth in need of mental health services do not receive care. With racism accounting for 63% of media-reported and 33% of educator-reported incidents, the need for culturally responsive support is critical. Dr. Turner will emphasize the importance of equipping parents with tools to recognize and respond to racial stress, while also promoting resilience and emotional well-being in their children. Strategies discussed can inform clinical practice and enhance family-based interventions.
