HDFS sponsors a twice a year Race and Culture series that is open to the university and local community. We feature pertinent faculty research, workshops and trainings on issues such as implicit bias and micro-aggressions, and other such topics and relevant movie screenings and discussions. The goal of this series is to stimulate, facilitate and sustain discussions around critical issues pertaining to race, culture and diversity.

For this presentation, Nadisha Downs seeks to discuss how community violence exposure impacts the mental health outcomes among African American youth in Urban Contexts. Come learn and join a discussion on the need for new approaches, innovative programs, and quality services to help mitigate the negative consequences of community violence exposure in many urban communities.
