Supporting the Work of Black Mental Health Providers


CORE’s latest case study entitled "Supporting the Work of Black Mental Health Providers" draws upon the learnings from conversations with CORE Fellows (Black graduate students in mental health) on the challenges of working in predominantly white workplaces. The case study, authored by Mel Martin, outlines the related challenges and opportunities for institutions - much of which is relevant to the work of Black professionals in other fields. Contact the CORE Planning Director, at director@core-mental-health.org to receive the case study.
