"Race and Wellness" is one of six thematic pillars of the initiative Our Shared Future: Reckoning with our Racial Past. These pillars can help us understand the past to build a better future. They are designed to make systemic racism feel identifiable, feel relevant, to our lives, and, most importantly, feel changeable.
Racism is a public health threat that has traumatic effects on the physical, emotional, and mental health of individuals, families, and communities. This pillar addresses the impact of racism on the wellbeing of individuals and communities. An equitable future is one where people of all races can not only live but live well.
