This year, we will have a series devoted to decolonizing health care. Decolonizing is about freeing systems from their historical colonial status and increasing the recognition, value of, and respect for the cultures of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

This session on mental health care features these panelists:

• Claudia Marte, MA, LPC, Mental Health Provider – Student of Color Focus, University Health Services
• Naomi Takahashi, MSW, LCSW, Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, UW Health
• Debie Evans, LCSW, Assistant Director, Anesis Center for Therapy
• Alyssa Ramirez-Stege, PhD, Clinical Professor of Counseling Psychology, Director of Esperanza Bilingual Psychological Services Certificate, School of Education, University of Wisconsin–Madison
