May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Faith Talks will facilitate a discussion highlighting the intersection of mental health and disability rights. 

We are keen to focus on the ways racism impacts one’s mental health journey, and further endangers persons who are differently abled. We’ll examine what’s happening in schools with regards to students with disabilities and the loss of innocence of young people of color. Our guests include Dara Baldwin, who will discuss her forthcoming book To Be a Problem: A Black Woman's Survival in the Racist Disability Rights Movement and Kristin Henning, author of The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth and Director of the Georgetown Juvenile Justice Clinic.
