With the goal of creating a safe learning space for all students, the fifth Women of Color & Feminism Leadership Symposium will bring together activists, artists and learners this week.
When it comes to mental health, statistics show people of color are less likely to seek treatment than white Americans. The reasons vary. Some attribute it to a disparity in health care coverage, some say it’s a mistrust of medical and mental health care systems, and others conclude it’s a cultural sensitivity to seeking emotional support outside the home. Whatever the case, three universities and colleges in Washtenaw County have come together to address the mental health needs of students of color. Cathy Shafran is joined by two guests with more information about the "Campuses in Color" support group.
