This workshop supports an open dialogue on amplifying the needs of students of color regarding their perspectives on campus climate, safety and academic success, based on Alfiee Breland-Noble's experiences over 20 plus years as faculty in academic environments, especially academic medicine. She offers insight into lessons learned (directly from the mouths of babes) and uses 20 years of rigorous research to inform faculty and staff on how they can build a portfolio of knowledge to include the voices of the young people they hope to serve.
This workshop is for faculty and staff.
Students attending this workshop will have the opportunity to share their expertise and insights with Alfiee Breland-Noble on the major issues facing Amherst students of racially diverse backgrounds. Using an intersectional lens and acknowledging the realities faced by marginalized young people of color, Alfiee Breland-Noble will provide context for challenges facing Amherst students and will offer unique insights and tools to support student mental health. Lunch will be provided.
This is an experiential workshop designed to help students of color implement self-care tools. Alfiee Breland-Noble will lead students through evidence-based and culturally relevant exercises and discussion on how to support students of color by gaining knowledge of the unique stressors they face while educating on how chronic stress impacts behavior and sharing practical tools to help students manage stress. This session also includes time for students to debrief on the day’s activities and share knowledge gained and insights on their experiences with Alfiee Breland-Noble. Students are expected to leave this session with practical tools to support their self-care routine.
