Racial Trauma: Resources for coping and mental health
The tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbory have brought to the forefront the traumatic impact that racial violence, systemic oppression, and racism have on black individuals. Students in need of additional support may reach out to the Counseling Center to speak to one of our counselors at counseling_wsu@worcester.edu or 508-929-8072.
The following resources, compiled by the Steve Fund, may also aid coping during this challenging time:
