Inside and outside of the clinic, the therapists and staff at Therapy Solutions have been having very tough, thoughtful, and necessary discussions concerning recent events in this country. We all understand the importance of the current siutation; there is tremendous data concerning the many disparities black and POC communities face regarding health care, housing, jobs, education, and law enforcement. We have been discussing what our role as a medical facility in the Tri-Cities community can be in the future to insure the gap between marginalized populations begins to lessen. At this time, we do not have a solid answer regarding this process, however, the conversation is active and we are respectfully listening, learning, and growing from each other and others in the community.
This week, we are going to give resources that uplift the voices of black people throughout the country regarding health care. We hope it gives a chance for others to learn and grow.Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis (psychologist, minister, and sacred artist) WEBSITE
