Q

Racial socialization

A

can help buffer the negative effects of racism and discrimination (Lee & Ahn, 2013). In homes where race is not discussed, children have fewer opportunities to develop coping strategies when faced with discrimination. Therapists may decide to discuss the positive benefits of racial socialization with African American parents. The American Psychological Association’s RESilience initiative has produced several resources to help therapists and parents uplift “youth through healthy communication about race” (American Psychological Association, n.d.).
