Intersections of Race, Sex, and Politics: Meeting the Needs of Racial and Sexual Minority Youth

The objective of this session is to present data on the negative impact of racial and sexual minority stress on mental health. Data on the historical effects of public policy on minority mental health will be used to illustrate the current ongoing stressors and needs of racial and sexual minority populations. The session will also discuss clinical methods to address issues of power and race within the patient –doctor relationship and present an innovative curriculum addressing the importance of understanding historical racism and trauma within fellowship training.
