S2E4: Race, Racism, & Mental Health with Dr. Veronica E. Johnson

QBT with Shawny and Jerms

This session we begin our new series for the month exploring the intersections of race, racism, and mental health. HEAVY? Yes, AND babes...we handle it with grace, humor, and honesty like we always do. We are joined by professor, speaker, consultant, & counselor, Dr. Veronica E. Johnson. She generously shares her expertise working with clients through a psychodynamic lens, educating across racial differences, and the weight of living in oppressive systems. Any of that seem puzzling? Don't fret we break it down for ya. An episode summary can't really BEGIN to capture the depth of this conversation...so JUMP IN!
How has your experience of race/racism shaped your understanding of mental health? What specific challenges and insights have you gained from your experience? Seeking some feedback from the babes of QBT? Shoot us a DM, email [e-mail] or voicemail at 971.220.8874.
