BIPOC USHR Liberation School is a free 8-week course (meeting once a week) in which we will examine various, decolonial approaches to understanding ourselves and others, with a focus on mental health and well-being. Each week we will discuss a different topic highlighting the many ways in which BIPOC peoples have, and continue to, understand themselves, the world, and their mental health and well-being within those worlds. The course will be led by multiple instructors, including some lectures, as well as activities and discussions. This course is for BIPOC folks only.
