Welcome: From the Group
Greetings to each of you who have decided to visit our site and participate by sharing your comments and/or experiences!
Our goal is to provide an open public forum for those of you who strive to obtain the knowledge needed to understand, care for and address the mental health issues of children who have an African American and a Caucasian parent.
Our hope is that professionals and those families who are affected will also utilize this site to guide, support and aid us in our quest for understanding and respecting this population and the issues we should know exist for them.
Please take a moment to post a comment, vote in the poll, and view our news and videos. If you don't mind, when you post a comment, PLEASE leave us information at the end, letting us know who you are (first and/or last name), your title/position/role (i.e parent, student, LMSW, PH.D, etc.), and whether or not you are bi-racial.
We do not want the results of our study to influence your comments, so please return later to find out what we found out!
Thank you for your time and participation!
Sincerely,
Angela, Bailey, Doug, Echo, and Tish

Are there any issues overlooked about racial backgrounds when your children, or children you know, receive mental health services? If so, which ones?

no, really people nowadays just go with da flow
Most issues are overlooked. Few providers take into account issues of alienation and isolation when dealing with racial minorities. Not alienation as an individual, but as a member of an alienated community. If growing up in an abuse home causes issues in children, what about growing up in abusive communities? What is the impact on children who regularly see police, social workers, teachers, and others from outside their community harass, denegrate, and abuse their family, friends, and neighbors?
