Checking Your Breath: Mental Health and the Folx of Color in Our Schools [February 2020 Chat]

EduColor had a chat about mental health for educators of color and how we can amplify self-care during times of tumult. Yamil Baez and Jose Vilson hosted this chat.

Here are some of the questions we posed:

• What role does culture play in our perspectives on mental health?
• How can curriculum be used to support the mental health of students of color?
• What are the obstacles faced by BIPOC folx when seeking help with mental health issues? 
• What have you seen be successful at addressing the mental health needs of educators of color?
• What are you doing as an educator of color to take of yourself? 
• What can you do to help support the mental health of the students of color in your school?
