Black Men & Mental Health – On-Demand Training
|
| Overview |
Overcome Barriers to Increase Student Satisfaction, Engagement & Degree Completion
Black males at predominately white institutions are less likely to utilize counseling services than their White counterparts, yet they are often at a greater risk for mental health difficulties. In light of COVID-19, access to mental health care poses even more challenges.
How is your institution perpetuating stigmas?
What barriers are making it difficult for Black men to get help for mental health concerns?
What can you do to mitigate some of the societal risk factors for your Black male students?
Help your Black male students overcome perceived barriers, negative stigma, cultural mistrust, and lack of diversity in the counseling staff to navigate mental health resources they need to succeed on your campus — both currently with regards to COVID-19 and once they return to campus.
Get actionable takeaways when our expert presenters address the challenges your Black male students face navigating mental health support on college campuses. You’ll walk away with tools for providing appropriate resources to overcome them.
Our experts address the effect of current events and how they impact your Black students; concentrate on the similarities of history and current campus climates to help empower; instill hope and provide diverse coping resources to help your Black male students succeed socially and academically.

| Topics Covered |
| We will offer crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you: |
-
Understand the social construction of race and gender through the contextualization of Blackness and gender beyond a binary and masculinity — create campus structures and systems that advocate and support Black student satisfaction, engagement and persistence.
-
Identify on-campus social and environmental factors that may negatively impact Black men — move past these stigmas so you can provide access to needed care and support in a way that resonates with this unique population, both during COVID-19 and after when students return to campus.
-
Increase awareness of your own culture, positionality and biases — foster personal strategies to decrease potential harm that you may cause when working with Black male students.
-
Recognize the history of systematic oppression, nuanced cultural mores and heterogeneity among Black men — incorporate this information to directly inform and positively impact your clinical work with these students.
-
Provide counseling strategies that embrace empowerment-based psychotherapy and educational interventions to late adolescent/early adult Black men — establish rapport, instill hope and give them diverse coping resources that ensure their experiences mirror your institutions’ mission and values.
