Community Conversation May '21 'Minding' My Body: Race, Mental Health and Student-Athletes of Color
Dr. Ketra Armstrong, professor of Sport Management and director of the Center for Race and Ethnicity in Sports, moderated the May 2021 panel 'Minding' My Body: Race, Mental Health and Student-Athletes of Color. The panel was sponsored by the Steve Fund Community Conversation.
Student-athletes represent a distinguished population of resilient and high performing individuals. However, for student-athletes of color, winning often requires them to also defeat the mighty foe of racism. In honor of May as Mental Health Awareness Month, this Community Conversation will include a panel of mental health experts who work with student-athletes as they center racism as a mental health crisis, address the impact of racial trauma on the mental and physical well-being of student-athletes of color, and offer recommendations for healing and supporting this unique population of students.
