Resources on Racial Trauma
The following resources include articles and videos aimed at speaking on the experiences of marginalized people. These resources are meant to offer education on how mental health affects these populations as well as to normalize the various ways that marginalized people experience their identities. These resources include articles and videos on allyship and how to ally with marginalized people. This list is ever-changing and growing, so if you feel there are some other resources we could add or take away from this list, please let us know via email Mary Xatse (mxatse@clarku.edu).
