This Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) Seminar opens with a personal vignette about Dr. Chase T. M. Anderson's life as an African American and gay person in America, and what it meant to grow up with those facets of identity. The purpose of this presentation is to provide a personal perspective on how minority stress can affect minoritized people. The presentation will cover the vocabulary and history surrounding minority stress, as well as the statistics surrounding healthcare discrimination in the United States. It also includes anecdotes from patients, staff, and colleagues regarding minority stressors that Dr. Anderson and another colleague collected during their residencies. Proven techniques will be discussed to help people cope with discrimination and heal. Dr. Anderson will describe a personal vignette detailing how life has improved greatly since joining the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for the child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship, and how, as a faculty member, Dr. Anderson is currently helping to build a clinic for minoritized youth.
