UNT Counseling Program

Dear Counseling Students,
In the wake of current events that are causing so much pain and grief in the Black community, we want to send a message of solidarity to the students, families, clients, and all community members who today suffer the consequences. Many of you work with families who have been deeply affected by these recent events. As counselors, these times remind us of the importance of advocacy work and the need to provide resources and support to those in emotional pain. The call for engagement in servant leadership and for supporting one another takes precedence in moments like these. In response, the Counselors for Social Justice (CSJ) chapter, will be offering a process group (see attached flyer for more information). In addition, the following link is for a podcast that Dr. Cartwright in collaboration with other colleagues did last week regarding the recent events (see below for detailed information):

The Thoughtful Counselor Episode 172 - Community Stress and Black America - An Urgent Matter with The Four Doctors (Links to an external site.)
About this Episode:
The Four Doctors – Janeé Avent Harris, Angie D. Cartwright, Loni Crumb, and Dominique S. Hammonds – discuss Mental Health Awareness Month, the unique mental health concerns of Black communities, and how the senseless murders of Black individuals and most recently the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, result in community stress, fear, and collective trauma in Black families and communities.

Sincerely,
Dr. Ceballos and Dr. Lindo
