 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Early Contributors
[edit]- Joseph White: White is widely considered the "Godfather of Black Psychology". [1] In 1961, he became the first African-American to earn a Ph.D. in psychology at Michigan State University while also being one of the only five African-Americans in the country to hold a doctorate in Psychology. [2] Joseph White contributed to the success of many students of color as well as spent his time working as an advocate for educational reform. He also wrote an article in Ebony in 1970 debunking the fabrication of Black Psychology.[1]
Organizations
[edit]In 1968, the Association of Black Psychologists was formed as a protest toward the American Psychological Association's lack of interest in African American Psychologists. In 1974, the Association of Black Psychologists created their official journal called The Journal of Black Psychology. This journal is directed toward understanding of experiences and behavior of African American populations. It covers many issues in the African American society, such as, HIV, sickle cell disease, racial identity, African American children, and substance abuse prevention. Psychology fields that are covered in this journal are counseling, clinical, social, cognitive, educational, and organizational psychology.
In 2014, Therapy for Black Girls was created to form an online space dedicated to encouraging the mental wellness of Black women and girls. Therapy for Black Girls focuses on making mental health topics more relevant and accessible for Black women. This platform uses pop culture to illustrate psychological concepts. [3]
The National Queer and Trans Therapists of America launched in May 2016, as a call to organize mental health practitioners to establish a network where therapists can deepen their analysis of healing justice and where QTPoC (Queer People of Color) community can connect to care. It is a healing justice organization that actively works to transform mental health for queer and trans people of color in North America. [4]
