Ever wondered how to navigate mental health challenges as a person of color in a world filled with systemic barriers? Join us on Kindred Conversations as we welcome Whitley Grant, a passionate mental health professional from the Melanated Space, who shares her deeply personal and professional journey. Influenced by her time at a historically Black college and her meaningful relationships with other women of color, Whitley has made it her mission to dismantle mental health stigmas within communities of color. Learn about the growing number of clients seeking help for workplace racism and sexism, and the critical role of culturally reflective clinicians in providing effective therapy.
We also dive deep into the often-unspoken realities of microaggressions and racism within therapeutic settings. Hear Whitley's advice on validating clients' experiences, educating them on these issues, and developing robust treatment plans that incorporate coping skills and social support. Additionally, we discuss the societal challenges women of color face in expressing emotions like anger and rage and the empowering journey of embracing authenticity. This episode also touches on the potential shift from individual therapy to group work and workshops, and Whitley's aspirations to engage in more speaking engagements to further amplify her impactful work. Tune in for a compelling conversation that shines a light on the importance of mental health care for people of color.
