COVID-19 and Racial Inequities Part 2
Online via ZOOM
Each day, the COVID-19 news reminds us of how people of color are negatively impacted. Some of us have good health insurance and the luxury of being able to practice social distancing in our housing and communities. Many people do not. The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly brought to the surface some of the inequities our communities of color are experiencing. Please join us ONLINE for our Monthly Community Meeting, along with Dr. Jim Sanders, Clinical Psychologist, to delve more into how Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES) informs us about the impacts on those with predisposed mental and physical health conditions, often stemmed from years of systemic racism.
