A Workshop to Address Wellness for BIPOC Students
Avril Sargeant
ProQuest LLC, D.M.F.T. Dissertation, Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Psychology
In higher education settings, minority BIPOC students have a harder time attaining wellness compared to their majority student counterparts. This may impact their level of functioning, leading to an overall unpleasant college experience. The covert and overt racism, injustice, and social unrest that exist in today's society hinders students from gaining the necessary coping skills and proper ability to care for themselves in college. The purpose of this resource guide is to provide wellness tools to faculty, staff, parents, and--especially--students. This resource is geared towards students of color because the existing literature exposes how microaggressions and macroaggressions from students who are not of color greatly and negatively impact BIPOC students. In order to approach optimal wellness support for BIPOC students, this guide will provide a roadmap, workshop, and list of tools all geared towards wellness. As a result, students, staff, and universities will have a resource to reference for struggling students of color.
