The left is completely obsessed with race and does not want racism to go away. It’s so obvious.
The College Fix reports:
Yale mental health clinic asks kids about racismYale University clinicians will begin asking pediatric mental health patients about their experiences with racism.The Yale Child Study Center will use an “innovative clinical tool” called the “Racially Informed Clinical Formulation” to “address the pervasive impact of racism on mental health.”The study center “serves as the Department of Child Psychiatry for the Yale School of Medicine,” according to its website.The tool “involves a strategic effort to systematically integrate patients’ racial identities and experiences into clinical assessments and treatment plans,” according to a university news release.The “clinical framework” “enhances mental health care,” according to the news release.The approach includes discussing the child’s “racial and ethnic experiences.” However, the healthcare provider will also discuss his “own clinician’s own racial and ethnic identities and biases.”Cecilia Frometa, a clinical psychologist, is overseeing the use of this method. She initially expressed interest in answering questions but has yet to respond to The College Fix with further comments. The Fix asked for the motivation behind the new method, how it was developed, and what will happen to the “racially informed” approach if it does not work.Frometa said she would follow up the week of Sep. 30 after meeting with her team to discuss other questions received. She has not responded further, including to a reminder sent in the last week.She has previously helped “create a health equity plan” for the child study center, according to a 2022 news release that celebrated the clinic’s DEI efforts.‘Discriminatory’ ‘apartheid medicine’However, a medical reform group that combats “the attack on our healthcare system from woke activists,” criticized Yale’s plans.The new approach is “discriminatory,” according to Do No Harm, “in the sense that it’s low-quality care for patients from certain racial or ethnic groups.”It is also a “terrible idea” since it involves “interrogating children” about racism,” Director of Research Ian Kingsbury said via a media statement.“As is often the case, the DEI agenda takes the greatest toll on the people it claims to protect,” Kingsbury said.
