Given recent tragedies in the news, our communities have been under a great deal of stress. The Weill Cornell Medicine community grieves the loss of those in St. Louis, Missouri, Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York. We understand the ramifications this tragedy has on our mental health and the mental health of our children.
In commemoration of the Juneteenth holiday of emancipation from slavery, Weill Cornell Medicine's Department of Psychiatry is sponsored a Roundtable on June 19, 2021 with Dr. Kimberly Gordon-Achebe, child and adolescent psychiatrist, University of Maryland; Reverend Frederick Streets, Yale Divinity School; and Dr. Elfred Anthony Pinkard, President, Wilberforce University.
You’re fully vaccinated, New York is reopening, and life is getting back to normal. So, why are you anxious? Instead of joy, you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and can’t stop asking yourself: How should I behave around others? Should I continue to physically distance? Should I shake a stranger’s hand? Do I even want to?
