Suicide is the third leading cause of death amongst collegiate student-athletes. Over the past week, our hearts have been broken by the incredible losses in our communities. We hope this reaches anyone who needs it; you matter, please stay. 🤍 @800273TALK

This week’s infographics provide information to patients regarding different health disparities that affect minoritized populations and equip providers with inclusive language to provide equitable care. #inclusivity
🚨NEW CONTENT ALERT🚨
This week we focus on the importance of being an inclusive healthcare provider. A minority group is a group of people who are singled out from others in society, often at a disadvantage from the majority population.
The term minority does not just refer to race- it can refer to many forms. Common minorities are grouped based on: race, religion, gender/sexuality, and disability.
83% of those who answered our poll aren’t sure about our resources at work to reduce language barriers. We weren’t sure either so @brookehales_atc looked for resources at her institution!
