Abstract: Stigmatized groups and particularly African Americans have for centuries been victims of chronic racialized trauma resulting from a variety of social determinants. This trauma has had negative health implications including mental health challenges that can lead to complex patient/provider interactions and often leave their need for palliative therapies unaddressed. This talk will address how religious and spiritual beliefs affect African American patients’ seeking/not-seeking mental healthcare, and how religious/faith institutions have themselves perpetuated racism.
