Drawing from recent and forthcoming work from Dr. Bernard, this presentation will highlight how perseverative coping can influence the discrimination-mental health link among Black youth\u00a0affected by racism and emerging adults.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker: <strong>Donte Bernard, PhD<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-303\" src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2025\/01\/Bernard-Donte-Psychiatry-145x150.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Donte Bernard\" width=\"145\" height=\"150\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Donte Bernard is a licensed\u00a0clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri. He earned his PhD in Clinical Psychology with a child and family emphasis at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.<br \/>\nHis program of research examines the direct and indirect pathways by which racism compromises the mental and behavioral health and well-being of those affected, including Black children, adolescents, and emerging adults. Ultimately, the goal of his research is to eliminate racial disparities in mental and behavioral health through informing policy and intervention development targeting the reduction of racism and its related health consequences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:\u00a0 <\/strong>Wednesday, June 4, 2025\u00a0\u00a0<strong><br \/>\nTime:\u00a0 <\/strong>12:00pm &#8211; 1:00pm<br \/>\n<strong>Location<\/strong>:\u00a0 Virtual only<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>RSVP for Zoom link<\/strong>: <em>This event has passed.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-3-ViHeN94U0j\" aria-controls=\"section-1-3-ViHeN94U0j\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Breaking the Habit of Bias<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-3-ViHeN94U0j\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-3-ViHeN94U0j\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>This workshop is led by Patricia Devine, PhD, the Kenneth and Mamie Clark Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who leads the Prejudice and Intergroup Relations Lab. Dr. Devine will harness scientific research on stereotyping, prejudice, and bias to provide evidence-based ways to reduce bias, raising awareness of why bias persists despite an individual&#8217;s rejection of prejudiced ideas. The prejudice habit breaking intervention was the first, and remains the only intervention that has been shown experimentally to produce long-term changes in bias.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-301\" src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2025\/01\/devine-241x300-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Patricia Devine\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:\u00a0 <\/strong>Monday, April 7, 2025<strong><br \/>\nTime:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lunch<\/em>:\u00a0 \u00a011:15am-12:00pm<\/li>\n<li><em>Workshop<\/em>:\u00a0 \u00a012:00pm &#8211; 4:00pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Location: <\/strong>HSC Conference Center in Hyatt House LA &#8211; University Medical Center <strong>[IN-PERSON ONLY]<br \/>\n<\/strong>Free hotel parking offered to all registered attendees.
