BIPOC Support
BIPOC Resources
Even with culturally relevant services and support it may take time to find what works for you or your child(ren). Nevertheless, with research and the resources provided, you can get the care that is needed.
Starting therapy with someone new may feel extremely awkward at first for children and their families. 对自己和孩子要有耐心. It is okay to ask the therapists as many questions as you or your child needs to feel comfortable and supported. If you are not sure what questions are important to ask when looking for a good mental health professional, do not worry.

Also, 如果你或你的孩子目前没有保险或保险不足, Public Health’s Community Health Access Program (CHAP) navigators can help connect you to free or low-cost health insurance options.

听听喇嘛罗德欧文和BJSTARR when they “discussed ways in which anger pierces through to the truth of our reality, acting as a mirror, source of clarity, 也是变革的催化剂. We also talked about how to consume anger rather than letting it consume us; Black rage; and the loving care we must also offer the wounds beneath it.”
自我照顾和集体照顾的技巧
自我照顾是照顾自己需要的行为. Collective-care, or community-care, is the act of supporting others in meeting their needs and asking others to support you in meeting yours, building upon the notion that we are stronger together than we are apart. Both are important aspects of reducing stress and increasing resiliency.
Examples include:
- 联系朋友和/或家人
- 确保你得到营养和水分
- Resting
- 参加虚拟教堂、清真寺或寺庙
- 实践精神
- 独自冥想或与网络小组一起冥想
- 参加抗议、游行和/或示威
- 和你现在的心理医生谈谈
- 参加体育活动
- Dancing or singing
- 设定界限,独处
- Making space for any act that relieves your stress and improves your resiliency
