Description

It takes a certain kind of seemingly supernatural strength to be Black in America, and the added pressure of excelling academically creates a unique form of stress for Black scholars. Despite a cultural push to somehow thrive through a double pandemic, most of us are not okay. Join UC Merced CAPS and The Black Girl Doctor for a discussion with Black psychologists who are committed to holding up our community. They will deconstruct the myths that uphold toxic productivity and share their best guidance for what it really looks like to care for your mental wellness as a high achiever. Refreshments available starting at 5:30 PM Panel Discussion begins at 6:00 PM
