Black Lives Matter

George Floyd's murder has brought the issue of racism front and center in American society. It cannot be ignored. As a trauma-informed mental health provider, I am aware of the impact that most of the -isms have on the mental health of those that are targeted. Racism is a particularly insidious -ism that has haunted our nation for generations. It is important that we support this movement, because all lives won't matter until black lives do.
