Towards a More Holistic Conceptualization of Mental Health Among Black Populations
The second discussion in the SSW's Black History Month series features Theda Rose and Camille Quinn in a discussion on mental health. Current thinking about mental health remains, for the most part, pathology based; however, the absence of disorder alone is insufficient to characterize mental health. This panel will offer holistic models of mental health that incorporate well-being and pathology along with highlights of socio-ecological factors associated with this broader conceptualization of mental health.
