Hi AAMC Community! I hope your February is going amazing! With February being Black History Month and the ongoing importance each day, each month to learn and celebrate increased initiatives supporting Black Health equity, I am hoping we can all share and spread knowledge to promote increased awareness about literature, films, articles, organizations, and/or toolkits and resources promoting Black Health and Wellbeing.
Here are some I have found useful and are sharing:
1. Black Maternal Health https://blackmamasmatter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/USPA_BMMA_Toolkit_Booklet-Final-Update_Web-Pages.pdf
2. Mental Health https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/docs/byomm_fulltoolkit.pdf
