Anti-Racism and Diversity Resources

We Must be Allies

Updated: 3/1/2023 at 11:10am ET -- See links labeled "New" or "Updated" below.

Addressing racism demands that we call out violence and condemn police brutality. It also requires examining the cultural drivers that reinforce racism and white privilege in our own communities.

As educators overseeing the training of future psychiatrists, it is critical that we identify concrete ways to combat health disparities and provide culturally appropriate mental health care to all communities. As academic leaders in positions of influence, we have an obligation to raise awareness about systemic racism. We must not stay silent.

AADPRT is working on organizational race, equity, and inclusion inititives to become an active anti-racist and inclusive organization. These initiatives can be found in AADPRT's responses to the Race, Equity, and Inclusion Organizational Assessment conducted by Kenneth Hardy, PhD of the Eikenberg Institute.
