A powerful guide to help your child foster strength and resilience when faced with racial stress.

Has your child experienced racial aggression, bullying, or harassment? Have they been discriminated against in the classroom, in extracurricular activities, or amongst peers? Have they ever asked you why they are treated differently? If so, you are not alone.

Discrimination and racism in society are a constant stressor and painful topic of conversation for many Black families. As a parent, you want to protect your child from these injustices; but the truth is that the best way to protect them is by giving them the tools to build resilience, and by instilling unshakable pride in who they are.

In this much-needed webinar for parents and caregivers, race and mental health expert Dr. Earl Turner will help your kids cope with race-based stress, challenge systemic oppression and marginalization, and thrive.

Dr. Erlanger (Earl) Turner, is a licensed psychologist, author, speaker, tenured professor at Pepperdine University, and media contributor based in Los Angeles. As a familiar voice in popular media, Dr. Earl offers insights that resonate with parents and educators.

Parents/caregivers, educators, health professionals, and community members welcome! Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available. Free admission.
