Juneteenth: Intergenerational Trauma featuring Kelsey Wilson, LCSW

The Melanin Initiative's Podcast

Today’s episode is special as we have our first guest. We’re honored to introduce to you and speak with licensed therapist Kelsey Wilson, LCSW. She’s here to talk to us about the historical context of intergenerational trauma.

Why this episode matters:

-Accessing mental health care can feel overwhelming. Navigating mental health stigma and identifying a therapist that is a good fit can be a challenge. In this episode we will focus on solutions to addressing barriers to care, the benefits of mental health treatment, and ways we can reduce mental health stigma within black and brown communities.

Today we talked about intergenerational trauma. We learned:

*The definition and key contributing factors of intergenerational trauma

*Now we can explain how intergenerational trauma impacts Black and Brown individuals

*We learned ways to reduce mental health stigma and promote positive mental health outcomes in our community

*We can comfortably and confidently talk about why clinicians of color matter in the mental health field

“In healthcare, there is often too much information and not enough time. Here at The Melanin Initiative, we avoid TMI by breaking things down into language you can understand, we create a safe space to ask your questions, and share our nursing perspective without taking too much of your time. Thanks for tuning in. Join us every week for TMI Tuesdays!” Thank you for watching!
