Anti-racism includes beliefs, actions, movements, and policies adopted or developed to oppose racism. In general, anti-racism is intended to promote an egalitarian society in which people do not face discrimination on the basis of their race, however defined.

Scholar Ibram X. Kendi won a National Book Award for his 2016 history of racist thought in the U.S., Stamped From the Beginning, and leads the Antiracist Research & Policy Center at American University. He's spent years immersed in the facts and theory of one of society's ugliest dimensions. His conclusion? There is no such thing as not being racist. Rather, he posits, there is only racism and that which actively works against it: antiracism. In his latest book, both self-examination and self-help, Kendi offers detailed instructions on how and why to put antiracism into practice. How to Be an Antiracist offers a reverberant challenge to its readers, calling on them to rethink deeply rooted ideas about race. It won't be easy or comfortable, but Kendi makes a convincing case that it's worthwhile.

Conversations about race are crucial for everyone. From news and culture to life and history, these are some of the best podcasts that discuss experiences of black communities in both the UK and America.

On Tuesday 2 June, Spotify will add a 8.46-minute moment of silence to playlists and podcasts in honour of George Floyd. This is the length of time former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinned Floyd down by the neck with his knee, resulting in Floyd's death. It's part of social media's wider #BlackOutTuesday, a global day of disconnecting to reflect and come together in support of the black community.

But when it's time to tune in again, we need more conversations around race. We must watch, listen and learn. We have to continue educating ourselves and amplifying black voices. One way of doing this is by thinking about the podcasts we choose to listen to.

We've put together a list of the best podcasts, both American and British, where you'll find these conversations; those about the Black Lives Matter movement, the death of Floyd and beyond.

Best podcasts about race

About Race with Reni Eddo-Lodge

Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race author Reni Eddo-Lodge recorded About Race to deep dive into the conversations in her vital book. Although it was a one-off series, this is an essential listen to revisit.

Come Through with Rebecca Carroll

Writer Rebecca Carroll ( Sugar in the Raw: Voices of Young Black Girls in America, Saving the Race: Conversations on Du Bois) wants us to acknowledge that race is at the centre of every issue in America. The series features 15 essential conversations about race in a pivotal year for America, where Carroll speaks to experts and fellow journalists.

1619

Four hundred years ago, in August 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. No aspect of the country that would be formed in America has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. 1619 is a New York Times audio series hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones, examines the long shadow of that fateful moment.

Code Switch

America's National Public Radio flagship podcast, Code Switch, is about race and culture. It takes on race and racism across a spectrum of identities and includes personal stories, historical context, and impactful analysis on the challenging past and present of race in America.

No Country for Young Women

Sadia Azmat and Monty Onanuga describe No Country For Young Women as a podcast that tackles "life, love and work in a white man's world". The pair "work out how we balance our identities as British women of colour" and no subject is off limits.

The Echo Chamber

Friends Jade and Ez discuss issues that they hope will resonate among black British people, speaking from their perspective as black, working class women.

Hollie Richardson

Hollie is a digital writer at Stylist.co.uk, mainly covering the daily news on women's issues, politics, celebrities and entertainment. She also keeps an ear out for the best podcast episodes to share with readers. Oh, and don't even get her started on Outlander...

On May 25, George Floyd became one of around 1,000 people killed by American police annually. In the days following, organisers across the globe lead anti-racist marches in solidarity with those protesting for Black Lives Matter on the ground in Minneapolis. Londoners took to Trafalgar Square in their thousands for a peaceful protest, kneeling for Floyd and staging a sit in at the U.S. Embassy.

Millions more have voiced their support using the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag on social media, with many sharing posts to urge friends, family, and followers to join them in speaking out against the racial injustice experienced by the Black community worldwide.

While speaking out online can be a powerful form of activism, bringing the sentiments shared on social media into our daily lives is the only way to enact real change and take steps towards creating the safe space that Black people everywhere are entitled to. This change begins by looking closer to home, listening to the Black stories in our communities and standing for progress and inclusivity where we live.

It's impossible to produce an exhaustive list of resources that speak to the Black British experience of today and highlight that of the past. If podcasts are your preferred method of learning, the below episodes, series, and one-off segments are a starting point for continued education, allyship, and action.

Racism & Anti-Racist Activism In The UK Today

The History Of Racism & Anti-Racist Activism In The UK

In 2018, the Home Office wrongly deported at least 83 people from the UK. Many more were unlawfully detained, threatened with deportation, and denied legal rights. The below episodes highlight the devastation caused by the Windrush Scandal up to this point, as well as the continued impact the UK government's actions has on Black families across the country.

Okay, so you probably aren't dying to spend your free time thinking about all of the troubling issues that are plaguing our country right now; especially not issues of race. But now more than ever, it's important to stay up to date on what's happening in the world and educate yourself on how to tackle important social problems. So, for those days when you'd rather #staywoke than melt your brain with another episode of [insert-lazily-written-comedy-podcast], here's 8 amazing podcasts that address race in America.

1. Sooo Many White Guys

Hosted by Phoebe Robinson, one of the genius ladies behind 2 Dope Queens, (another podcast you should definitely check out), this interview-based podcast series seeks to challenge the straight-white-male-dominated podcast industry. Each episode features interviews with guests that are female, of color, and/or from the LGBTQ community. But Robinson doesn't seclude herself to a bubble of diversity. In order to ensure everyone's voice gets heard, she has one token white dude on for one episode each season, you know, to stand up for "the little guy."

2. The Combat Jack Show

This podcast is great for someone who may not want an overdose of social activism in their podcasts right away. Centered around iconic hip-hop guests such as Ice Cube, Cardi B, and Ty Dolla Sign, The Combat Jack Show also includes interviews with important activists for racial equality, and highlights the points where music and politics intersect. Hip-hop enthusiasts and social activists alike will love this podcast hosted by the former-editor of The Source.

3. Our National Conversation About Conversations About Race

Unfortunately, after a solid 2 year run, this podcast was not renewed for another season due to scheduling issues. However, there's an arsenal of 2 years' worth of material for you to catch up on, so it's still definitely worth a listen. With a pretty literal title, this podcast discusses the current racial climate in America and how people, from prominent political figures to everyday citizens, discuss issues of race. It's a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn more about how to approach and dissect racial problems.

4. Another Round

Hosted by Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu, two of the most badass WOCs you'll ever meet, this podcast is as real as it gets. From discussions with important contemporary voices such as Ta-Nehisi Coates and Hillary Clinton, to casual chats about fruit, squirrels, and wine, there's nowhere this podcast won't go. Be prepared, because anything could happen.

5. Intersection

Hosted by visionary Jamil Smith, this podcast examines identity through various points of intersection. Race, gender, socioeconomic status-these are just some of the points of intersection that Smith explores in order to help others gain a greater understanding of themselves. He also includes discussions with journalists, activists, politicians, and everyday people. This podcast is the real deal!

6. TWiB (This Week in Blackness)

Remember earlier when I said that Another Round is as real as it gets? Well, I may have spoken too soon. From politics, to religion, to racial justice, to activism, TWiB explores every corner of the black community. Hosted by Elon James, the legendary host of the web series by the same name, TWiB is "Real Talk. Real Awesome." Don't be surprised if you get hooked on all of TWiB's media platforms after one listen.

7. Code Switch

The hosts of Code Switch aren't afraid to make you uncomfortable, but don't worry; they're here to help. This NPR podcast hosted by journalists of color aims to teach people how to engage in conversations about race in a safe, productive way. But don't expect them to sugar-coat anything for you. Their one promise is to always be "unflinchingly honest" with their listeners, so be prepared to get #realaf.

8. Best of the Left

For those who may not know which podcast to dive into first, we suggest you start with Best of the Left. Not so much a podcast as it is a playlist, Best of the Left is a collection of all the best liberal podcasts on the scene today. You'll get a little of everything, from race, to philosophy, to arts, and everything in between, you'll never get bored with this master-list of podcast gold.

February is Black History Month, a time to recognize and honor Black history, achievements, and culture. This year, a spate of scandals spurred another kind of conversation. Headlines featuring the student photos of Virginia Governor Northam in blackface and the racist product lines released by Gucci and Prada serve as reminders of how deeply rooted anti-black racism continues to be in the United States and around the world.

While no podcast can adequately address the complex challenges presented by years of institutional racism, this audio medium can help educate people about how we got to where we are now and contributes to a more constructive dialogue on race, while highlighting the remarkable contributions of Black people from different countries all over the world.

The worldwide uprising following the horrific death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has left many people wondering what they can do to show solidarity and turn their opposition to racism into action.

Reading a book isn't going to solve racism, educating yourself about the ideology and practice of anti-racism has got to be a step in the right direction.

While there are literally hundreds of brilliant books on the subject, social media has become a platform for the recommendation of certain tomes that can serve as a starting point.

And really the important thing is to get started, if you haven't already.

Of course, these books are just the tip of the education iceberg when it comes to the comprehensive literature on the topic, but here are just a few books about race that we should all be reading right now.

So you want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo

This simple and conversational book provides a vital starting point for opening up the discussion about racism, examining not just the subject as a whole, but the role of the white person within it.

Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race by Reni Eddo-Lodge

This UK-based book is based on a 2014 blog post by the author in which she expresses frustration about having to deal with well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful white people.

In it she wrote: "I couldn't have a conversation with white folks about the details of a problem if they didn't want to recognise that the problem exists. Worse still was the white person who might be willing to entertain the possibility of said racism but still thinks we enter this conversation as equals. We didn't then, and we don't now."

How to be an anti racist by Ibram X Kendi

Using the power of memoir the author argues that it isn't enough to reject racism, instead we need to actively practice anti-racism, but this will involve "persistent self-awareness, constant self-criticism, and regular self-examination".

White Rage: The unspoken truth of our racial divide by Carol Anderson

Former New York Times Bestseller and Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year winner, this book links historical flashpoints which hindered social progress for African Americans and is described as adding "an important new dimension to the national conversation about race."

Freedom is a constant struggle by Angela Davis

Social media is currently awash with quotes by activist Angela Davis, but those who wish to extend their knowledge of her teaching by more than a few lines on Twitter should start by reading this. The book serves as a compelling compilation of Davis' thoughts and essays on everything from the legacy of apartheid to race protests and touches on how racism has also impacted feminism.

Your silence will not protect you by Audre Lorde

This posthumous collection of essays, poems and speeches by Audre Lorde, a writer, feminist, and civil rights activist serves as powerful introduction to her writings.

"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own," the author once said during a keynote talk in 1981. "And I am not free as long as one person of colour remains chained. Nor is any one of you."

White Fragility: Why it's so hard for white people to talk about racism by Robin DiAngelo

One of the topics this book tackles is why some white people find race-based conversations so uncomfortable and how they can move past that.

Biased by Jennifer L Eberhardt

A professor in Psychology author Eberhardt uses the book as a platform to highlight how even when people are trying their utmost to treat everyone equally, ingrained stereotypes can impact our behaviour offering a powerful reminder that unconscious bias is everywhere.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

In this, her debut novel, Angie Thomas widens out the short story she wrote in college following the police shooting of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old African-American man. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, the novel explores prejudice and racism in modern times.

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

This non-fiction novel is told via a letter to Ta-Nehisi Coates' 15-year-old son touching on his own experiences of being black. The author blends his own narrative with current events in an attempt to arm his son to be able navigate his own experiences. "This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it," he writes.

Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F. Saad

Within the book the author, who is also a well recognised speaker on the topic of race, quotes Martin Luther King: "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

And her own quote is equally as powerful: "When you refuse to look at colour, you refuse to look at yourself as a person with white privilege."

Some therapists prescribe movies as a form of treatment. Yep, movie therapy, or cinema therapy, is an expressive, sensory-based treatment that uses movies, TV shows, videos, and animation as tools for growth and healing. And it's been found to enhance the therapeutic process and increase overall engagement with clients whom therapists find difficult to reach.

I've experienced this to be true.

Three years ago, when I switched up the television shows that I watch, choosing only those that feature what I perceived to be real Black lives, I was unknowingly engaged in cinema therapy. Watching shows that affirmed my Blackness and womanhood helped me reflect on my own value and worthiness and heal from the trauma I'd experienced over the years of consuming White-male-dominated narratives.

Research has shown that certain films have caused social justice change, or simply inspired good things to happen. A study by Yale researchers shows that the movie The Day After Tomorrow "had a significant impact" on moviegoers' attitude toward climate change.

Considering the polarized and xenophobic state of the country and the world, I'll take the liberty of suggesting that we all are-no matter how we identify-experiencing racial trauma. The following race-related flicks will make you cry and laugh (looking at you, Trevor Noah); some may make you mad. They all will help you think differently.

Documentaries for Thought
Inside the Ku Klux Klan (2015)
It's August 2014. People are raging in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the United States after a White police officer there shoots and kills Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager. This year also marks the eve of the 150th anniversary of the Ku Klux Klan.

British filmmaker Dan Vernon spent seven months inside the Missouri chapter of the Traditionalist American Knights of the KKK to discover who belongs, and if White supremacy is on the rise, as the organization claims.

I surprised myself by watching this-and in one sitting. It was far from soothing. What it did do, however, was confirm my belief that White supremacy/nationalism is fundamentally grounded in fear-fear of others and a fear of becoming irrelevant.
I Am Not Your Negro (2016)
James Baldwin was one of the most prominent U.S. analytical thinkers, social critics, and book authors of the 20th century. If he were still alive, what would he say about race relations and racism today? I imagine he would say the same things he said decades ago.

In so many ways, on so many levels, not much has changed.

Baldwin's unfinished work, Remember This House, was a story of America through the lives of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, I Am Not Your Negro is director Raoul Peck's vision of how it would have turned out had it been completed. In Negro, Peck creatively connects the history of race and its impact from the civil rights movement to Black Lives Matter through a range of media.

The opening scene is Baldwin's 1968 interview on The Dick Cavett Show, which foreshadows the documentary with this query: "It's not a question of what happens to the Negro here, or to the Black man here ... but the real question is 'What's going to happen to this country?'"
13th (2016)
The 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits slavery-with the exception of the enslavement of those in our penal system. In 13th, award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay interviews scholars, activists, and politicians about the mass incarceration of African Americans. She brilliantly links today's prison boom to slavery and Jim Crow.

Interviewees include political activist and professor Angela Davis; political analyst and CNN commentator Van Jones; author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, Michelle Alexander; U.S. Sen. Cory Booker; former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich.
Who Killed Vincent Chin? (1987)
In 1982, Detroit autoworker Ronald Ebens used a baseball bat to beat to death Chinese American auto engineer Vincent Chin. Neither Ebens nor his stepson ever served a day behind bars for that killing at a local bar even though they both confessed to it. Instead, the men received a plea bargain, to the outrage of local citizens and criminal justice advocates. Chin's case is taught in Asian American studies courses around the country.

Some Much-Needed Laughter
Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark (2017) and Son of Patricia (2018)
If you can't get enough of Noah's intellectual humor on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, you have to check out the South African comedian's Netflix stand-up specials Afraid of the Dark and Son of Patricia.

He may not be able to make sense of the Trump presidency or racism, but maybe he can help you find humor in the ridiculousness of both.

As I write, Donald Trump and his wall are dominating the news, and the government is shut down. I want to just throw something at the screen.

Later, I'm watching Patricia's son and laughing harder than I did the first time because I'd totally forgotten about this line, which is some timely and much-needed empathy for how I'm feeling:

"I still can't believe the things Donald Trump says. For me, Donald Trump is an emotional paradox, I'm not gonna lie. Logically I can process him; emotionally I struggle."

Amen, Trevor!
Dave Chappelle: Equanimity and the Bird Revelation (2017)
Stand-up veteran Dave Chappelle resurfaced and redeemed himself in Netflix's Equanimity and the Bird Revelation. While I don't agree with all of his jokes, there is something to be said for a comedian who can acknowledge his own lack of information or understanding about an issue and vulnerably confess to his missteps (like when he suggested we all give Trump a chance).

I can't get enough of Chappelle. A disclaimer, though: While his comedy is smart, funny, honest, and blunt, it may be offensive to some.

More Documentaries: Dolores: Rebel. Activist. Feminist. Mother. (2017); Explained: The Racial Wealth Gap (2018); What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015); Freeway: Crack in the System (2015); KKK: The Fight for White Supremacy (2015); and Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years 1954-1965 (1990).

Release Your Imagination
Bright (2017)
Two cops-a human (Will Smith) and an orc-battle their differences as they work together to protect the damsel-in-distress elf who is key to saving the world. Honestly, I could have passed on this. Then again, other viewers may get something out of it. Instead of color-based racism, there are species that discriminate against each other: humans, orcs, fairies, and elves.

More Imagination: Black Panther (2018).

Love and Racial Justice
Belle (2013)
Based on a true story, the movie portrays the historical Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate mixed-race daughter of a British Navy admiral and African mother who was enslaved in the British West Indies. After her mother's death, her father takes her to live with his family in England. When he is killed, his uncle, the lord chief justice, officially becomes Belle's guardian. Her integration into British society is complicated. She is instrumental in softening her uncle's heart toward slavery, and he makes a series of antislavery rulings that helped to fuel the abolition movement, which outlawed slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833.
Loving (2016)
The repeal of miscegenation laws in the U.S. began in 1948. But in Virginia in 1958, these laws were still in place when Richard and Mildred Loving married. The young couple battled these racist laws to be together-endangering their freedom and lives as well as their loved ones. They would take their fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, winning in the historic 1967 decision Loving v. Virginia.

More Love and Racial Justice: First They Killed My Father (2017); Lion (2016); 42 (2013); Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002); and Imitation of Life (1934, 1959).

And it's been found to enhance the therapeutic process and increase overall engagement with clients whom therapists find difficult to reach.

For the last few weeks, I've been going through it. First there was the constant stream of news about the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on Black communities, then came the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade at the hands of police and the wrongful death of Ahmaud Arbery. Meanwhile I'm navigating this pandemic along with everyone else, and trying to figure out how to make a positive impact along the way. It's been dizzying. And I know I'm not alone.

According to Naj Austin, founder of the social community for people of color Ethel's Club, all of those complex feelings and mixed emotions are normal in times of crisis and collective trauma. Ethel's Club, which previously offered free mental health counseling for members in its Brooklyn location, has now transitioned to a digital model. "The great thing about a healing space like Ethel's Club is that it takes our identity, and everything that comes with that, into account. You can't talk about these complex feelings without talking about Blackness." The club's online community is hosting free, hour-long grieving sessions twice monthly.

For many Black people practicing social distancing, the need for virtual resources has never been more clear. So, I've compiled a list of six more mental health resources, in addition to Ethel's Club, that are providing virtual support to the Black community right now. However you choose to grieve, process, and/or stand in solidarity, remember that you're not alone, and that your personhood and wellness still matter.

Maryam Ajayi founded Dive in Well, an organization offering digital classes on various wellness practices, to create a more inclusive wellness industry. Dive in Well hosts donation-based digital events like breathwork classes and therapy sessions aimed at centering self care.

This Chicago-based, community-driven organization provides women from across the Black diaspora with low-cost group therapy sessions, workshops, and free online conversations known as Online Sista Support Groups, which cover topics like managing the stress sparked by consuming news.

Founders Darian Hall and Elisa Shankle created this space in Brooklyn to provide accessible and inclusive wellness to their community. HealHaus is currently closed, but their ethos has continued virtually through live streamed classes, including a healing cypher for men of color.

Dr. Joy Harden Bradford founded this organization to combat the stigma around therapy that might otherwise prevent Black women from seeking care. Now, TBG has become a successful podcast, a directory that aims to connect women with culturally competent therapists, as well as a private community Facebook support group. The organization holds free group support sessions weekly on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. EST.

Performance artist and poet Tricia Hersey founded The Nap Ministry to champion Black rest as a form of reparations and resistance against burnout culture and capitalism. While she normally hosts free pop-ups where visitors can take brief naps and workshops in the Atlanta area, Hersey has been using Instagram to provide mini sermons about the importance of slowing down and getting more sleep when you're a Black person fighting oppression day-in and day-out.

Austin-based therapist Melody Li founded the Inclusive Therapists database to provide therapists with training for racial trauma and connect people of all identities, abilities, and bodies with culturally sensitive care. Li herself, and many other therapists in the Inclusive Therapists network, offer reduced-fee teletherapy options to ensure that financial limitations do not keep people from pursuing care. Decolonizing Therapy and Viva Wellness are two other therapy practices with active online platforms.

7 Virtual Mental Health Resources Supporting Black People Right Now

Black lives matter. And that means Black mental health has to matter too. We have learned from the Black Emotional And Mental Health Collective that "Black people are 7 times more likely to live in areas with limited access to mental health care. There is a shortage of black mental health providers, and only a third of Black people who need mental health services receive treatment."

We've talked about the mental health effects of systemic racism and discrimination. We have to keep talking about it. Today we're sharing mental health resources created by and for Black people.

We know this list represents some but not all of the resources available. If you have one you'd like to recommend, we'd love to know about it. Please email information and links to us at findhelp@twloha.com.

TWLOHA's Treatment & Recovery Scholarships

These funds represent a collective belief that all people should have access to professional mental health care. This application is open to anyone regardless of race or ethnicity, but if you are a person of color facing financial barriers we encourage you to apply here. We can also help you connect with a therapist in your community.
Referral Networks + Resources
Melanin & Mental Health Melanin & Mental Health was born out of a desire to connect individuals with culturally competent clinicians committed to serving the mental health needs of Black & Latinx/Hispanic communities. They are committed to promoting the growth and healing of our communities through our website, online directory, and monthly events.
Additional Resources Disclaimer: Although TWLOHA believes in the power of professional help, you are responsible for selecting the provider or treatment. TWLOHA cannot accept responsibility for any of the services provided by these or any other providers.

J-204 Monday - Friday | 9:00am-5:00pm

Eligibility
Counseling services are available to all currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at Stockton. Faculty and staff are not eligible for Counseling Services at this time and are encouraged to contact Human Resources for EAP referrals.

Initial Session Guidelines
Your first face to face meeting with a clinician is an in-depth intake interview where the clinician gathers information about your concerns, background information, pressures that may impact current problems, and goals for counseling. The clinicians are bound by confidentiality, which means that what is said in session remains in session. There are a few exceptions to this rule:

1. Plans to harm yourself

2. Plans to harm specific others

3. Permission provided by you

4. Abuse of a child, adult, or elderly person

5. Court subpoena

Counseling Services is committed to providing the best possible care to our clients. We are also a training facility for psychologists, counselors, and social workers. As a result you may meet with more than one staff member during your first few sessions but you will be assigned to one primary therapist to meet with on an on-going basis. If you have any questions, please make sure to ask them during the initial session.

Counseling Sessions
Counseling Services uses a brief counseling model. Brief counseling has several important features: (a) the focus is on identifying specific and attainable goals, (b) attention is given primarily to the present rather than the past, and (c) both counselor and client are active in the process. For those who may require more intensive work, Counseling Services can provide referral options that are available locally. A counseling session is typically 30-60 minutes in length and sessions are commonly scheduled weekly or bimonthly. If you arrive late for your appointment, you will have a reduced amount of time in the session or you may need to reschedule.

Session Limits
Counseling Services provides short-term counseling to discuss any personal concerns you may be facing and works with you to develop new ways of resolving problems. Most problems are resolved within six sessions or less. There is no limit on the number of sessions you can meet with your counselor, though a student may require more intensive or specialized treatment than Counseling Services can provide. In that case, your counselor will assist you in finding a local treatment provider who can better meet your particular needs.

Confidentiality
Counseling Services will release information from counseling sessions to outside parties only at the request of the client or a subpoena. Records are confidential and will not leave Counseling Services unless there is an emergency situation. Counseling Services records are not kept as part of the educational record. We will not answer questions about you from parents, family, friends, significant other, professors, employer or anyone else outside of the Counseling Services staff.

Parents and guardians are not contacted unless we have permission from you or if there is a risk to your safety (i.e.: suicide risk/attempt, emergency room evaluation and/or a threat to yourself or others). If there is a risk, information may only be shared that aids in obtaining ongoing care and ensuring safety. In rare cases where there is a risk to you or the community, Counseling Services reserves the right to notify the Dean of Students, the Vice President of Student Affairs and/or Campus Police, especially if you are an active danger to yourself and/or to others.

Record Storage
Counseling records and individual documents are maintained electronically, are password protected and accessible by Counseling Services staff only. Client records will be kept for at least ten (10) years after the date of the last contact with our department.

Testing Data
Raw data, such as answer sheets and test booklets, are protected by copyright and may only be released to trained clinicians. Assessment and testing data are explained during the follow-up session.

Graduate Assistants and Interns
Graduate assistants and interns are actively receiving intensive training and often work with a smaller number of clients, allowing them to review and focus on treatment. Occasionally they may ask for your permission to record a counseling session through audio and/or video. This is optional and you would be asked to sign a release prior to the recorded session. Both audio and videotapes are erased after they are used in training the graduate student who recorded them.

Email
Email communication with members of the Counseling Services staff should be used in scheduling appointments only. We recognize the importance of email but, because it is not a secure medium of communication and our staff does not maintain 24-hour access to their email, it will not be used to discuss on-going treatment issues.

Groups
You may also benefit from group counseling and we strive to offer a variety of support groups and psychoeducational classes every semester. For most groups there is no limit to the number of sessions you may attend. Please see our section on Group Counseling for current group and class offerings.
Client Rights

Review credentials of all Counseling Services staff members including but not limited to: education, experience, and professional counseling certification and licensure(s).

Request a particular counselor; male or female.

Terminate the counseling relationship at any time.

Have your conversations treated confidentially and be informed of any limitations on confidentiality in the counseling relationship.

Ask questions about the counseling techniques and strategies used by a counselor.

Participate in setting goals and evaluating progress toward them.

Client Responsibilities

Please arrive on time for your counseling session appointment.

If unable to keep an appointment, call our office at 609-652-4722 to cancel at least 24 hours in advance.

Actively participate in counseling by asking questions and staying involved.

Making an Appointment

If you are visiting the Wellness Center for the first time, you will be scheduled to meet with a counselor for an intake.

Students can make an appointment for services by calling the Counseling Center at 609.652.4722 or by coming to the office, located in J-204, to schedule an intake. Because many students use our services, there may be a waiting period as the semester goes on (usually from a few days to 2 weeks) before the first appointment can be scheduled.

Appointments are available Monday-Friday during the semester and Monday through Thursday during the summer. A limited number of walk-in appointments are available for students who need to be seen on the same day. If you are in crisis, please inform the receptionist and we will make every attempt to respond to you as soon as possible.
Canceling an Appointment
Counseling Services are offered on an appointment basis. Canceling or missing appointments leads to an ineffective use of valuable staff time which could have been afforded to other students in need. If you must miss a session due to illness or emergency, please contact the center to cancel the appointment as far in advance as possible.

Our staff offers crisis intervention services during regular office hours. If you are a Stockton University student or are concerned about a Stockton student and need to talk to someone in the Counseling Center, please call (609) 652-4722.

In case of a mental health emergency, call 911.

The Wellness Center creates a web of support for faculty, staff, and students through a variety of education and prevention efforts. Those who may benefit include:

those interested in learning more about college student mental health

those who may want to know more about how to help a friend

those who may feel stigmatized regarding seeking therapy

In addition the Wellness Center staff is trained to give presentation to faculty, staff, and students about issues that are relevant to life on the college campus such as Green Dot, Soul Collage, Anger Management, and Peer Education. A large number of these workshops are offered under the Undergraduate Learning, Training, and Awareness Program (U.L.T.R.A). These are designed to offer support in dealing with difficult issues and exploring alternatives to enhance the quality of college life. Topics such as the Seven Domains of Wellness (physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, intellectual and social) are addressed in these programs.

Throughout the week, the Counseling Center has walk-in hours, which provide students the opportunity to meet briefly with a counselor without scheduling an appointment. Your wait time would depend on the number of students waiting at that time.

Monday - Friday 9:00am - 4:00pm

"Let's Talk" is a drop-in service that offers informal, confidential consultation with a Stockton University counselor.

Counselors hold walk-in hours at various on-campus locations throughout the week during the academic year (see schedule below).

Let's Talk consultations are

FREE for Stockton students

Offered first-come, first-served (no appointment necessary)

Confidential

Informal (not intended to be a substitute for traditional counseling)

Black Female Fashion Bloggers and Lifestyle Bloggers

Oh My God. I love being a girl and I really love being a black girl. I also am obsessed looking at African and African American Influencers creating astounding content. From black female travel bloggers, to black business bloggers, black bloggers are killin' it and what better way to view their content in one place than on Instagram.

Processed with VSCO with a6 preset

Melanin against brilliant pops of color or even in stark contrast to a brilliant white backdrop. I cannot get enough. You must know, however, while these women are uber glamorous and their blogging has taken them to magnificent locations and afforded them immensely and swoon-worthy opportunities, these women are working their behinds off in order to bring us incredible content that we can devour. They've designed their best lives and are striving for even more. They are truly inspiring.

These Black Bloggers Give You Life On Instagram

I love her brown skin and how it pops in her photos. Ijeoma's style and photos are beautiful, but what I love most about her is her giving spirit. Ijeoma openly shares secrets to help you create amazing photos in her story highlights.

If you have not experienced the incredibleness that is @colormecourtney, run don't walk and follow her. She is the essence of branding done right. I had the honor of watching her speak at Blogger18 and I was blown away by her confidence. She is the it girl that brands go to for color point blank and the period. Her feed is so fab, goddesses. Seriously. Even my mom, who knows nothing about blogging or instagram knew who Courtney was from a commercial. Incredible. Check out her quote for bloggers here.

There are so many incredible African and African American influencers out there. I could not possibly name them all, but know ladies you are giving us black girls aspirations. You're showing the world what Black Girl Magic is and you're killing it in business. Thank you, Goddesses. We love you.
What fabulous African, Afro-Carribean, or African American Influencer is missing from my list? Let me know in the comments.
