<p>We are all in the midst of navigating a medical and social pandemic!  In this session, I am joined by Licensed Psychologist and Crisis/Trauma Specialist, Dr. Kermit Crawford.  In this session, Dr. Crawford shares with us key information about how Black people can protect their mental health in the midst of dealing with civil unrest, racism and Covid-19.  He provides us with what we coined &quot;The 4 R&apos;s.&quot;  These &quot;4 R&apos;s&quot; are culturally relevant coping strategies to help make the journey of life a little bit more manageable.  In honor of Men&apos;s Health Month, he also provides a very special message of healing and hope to Black Men. </p>

Don't Wait: A Conversation About Why All of the Black People Are Sitting Outside of the Therapy Room

ReMIND U Podcast is a weekly conversation to help us remember to keep mental health in our discussions (MIND.) Each week, Dr. Kristie Norwood (affectionately known as “Dr. Kristie”) will discuss relevant topics such as relationship patterns, personal growth, trauma, mindfulness, self-reflection, and moving towards your values!  Many of the topics will focus on how specific issues affect communities of color. Geared towards those of us who lead fast paced lives, Dr. Kristie incorporates brief “Mindful Moments” where you can gain information in short episodes, or sessions as she calls them.  At least once per month, there will be a longer session which will allow us to connect even further about a topic.  Listeners will gain insight into how to dialogue about mental health topics while also finding ways to prevent themselves and others who may be suffering in silence.  Through ReMIND U, we are building a community of listeners that can help decrease the stigmas surrounding seeking mental health care.  So, come on in…and join the discussion!
