CRESTSprogram

This virtual training session features the program's Co-Founders, Dr. Cirecie West-Olatunji and Dr. Constance West, and Dr. Ebony White who is currently serving as a CRESTSprogram Research Fellow. The panelists discussed how educators, parents, and clinicians can utilize models of Black identity development to promote healing from race-based stress for Black youth, especially for Black schoolgirls. In addition, the panelists identified effective culture-centered, trauma-informed interventions to be used to better equip Black girls to achieve academic success and socio-emotional well-being.
