As Americans continue to protest the horrifying police brutality that has plagued our country for generations, we have the responsibility to listen and stand together to create sustainable systemic change. As art therapists, we work with clients and communities impacted by long-standing institutional racism and injustice. We are called upon to advocate for equity and to work creatively to support communities of color. Today’s ATT highlights the voices of Black artists as well as resources and support from mental health advocates. We hope that this content will help inform the much needed dialogue and action to address social injustice.
