Other Research
Treatments for racism, such as Cultural Humility and Social Justice Training, work by educating participants on cultural humility and systemic inequalities, encouraging self-reflection on personal biases, and equipping them with skills to challenge discriminatory practices. These interventions foster empathy, awareness, and proactive behavior, improving interactions and outcomes for marginalized groups like low-income youth of color. This is crucial for patients of racism as it helps create a more inclusive and supportive environment, mitigating the psychological and social impacts of discrimination.
