In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, join Being Well, DiversAbility at Yale Subcommittee on Mental Health, Office for Women in Medicine and Science, Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Yale School of Medicine, Women Faculty Forum, Working Women’s Network, WorkLife and Childcare, and Yale African American Affinity Group for a conversation with Marita Golden, author of The Strong Black Woman: How a Myth Endangers the Physical and Mental Health of Black Women.
Marita Golden will read from her new book and discuss the complex legacy of the strong Black woman complex in the lives of Black women. The dark side of strength and resilience, the stigma attached to seeking mental health care, and the health crisis Black women face, are topics examined in this ground-breaking book, which will provide subjects for a dialogue with attendees. Registrants will have a chance to win a free copy of the book!
This event will be moderated by Sarafina Robinson, Evaluation Coordinator, The Consultation Center.
