Transforming Careers in Mental Health for BIPOC: Strategies for Healing & Social Change
"An invaluable guide for anyone considering a career in behavioral health, confronting discrimination in their discipline or workplace, or seeking a more inclusive society. Personal histories, thoughtful reflections, and practical suggestions provide useful options for how to thrive in unfair systems.”
- Roberto Lewis-Fernández, MD, MTS, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University and editor of the DSM-5 Handbook on the Cultural Formulation Interview
Nearly 40 BIPOC thought leaders speak candidly about navigating race-related stress while building meaningful, sustainable careers in mental health. Grounded in practical wisdom and empirical insights, the book offers a roadmap for creating more inclusive, equitable, and culturally affirming approaches to training, research, and clinical practice.
Dr. Chang is Co-Founder (with Colleen Leung) and Chief Clinical Officer of Unmute, a BIPOC-led mental health start-up dedicated to strengthening workforce capacity to meet the needs of an increasingly racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse population.
In partnership with NYU and with funding from the National institutes of Mental Health, Unmute is currently conducting a clinical trial of its CARE approach to therapist training and strengthening the cross-racial/ethnic therapeutic alliance.
