As the text accompanying the toolkit indicates, "Students of color in particular experience unique circumstances, such as racial/ethnic discrimination, disparities in mental health services, and marginalization. These experiences can contribute negatively to their mental health and well-being and impede both academic performance and college satisfaction."
Young, Gifted, @ Risk and Resilient is a Video Toolkit to Support the Well-Being of Students of Color and is sponsored and curated by The Steve Fund as well as University of Michigan's National Center for Institutional Diversity, Center for Academic Innovation, and Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It features scholars and practitioners from across the country who provide evidence-based information for faculty, staff, and providers to foster a positive learning environment and support the mental health and well-being of students of color.
Please take the time to watch, reflect upon, and take action to support the well-being of students of color in our program.
Sincerely,
Dr. Deidre Hayes and Dr. Reginald Parquet
