Love this initiative, #NFLPA. Mental Health Champions, let's join Hall of Famer Walter Jones and the National Football League Player's Association to check in with each other today. Make a call to a colleague. Lift them up. Let's keep the play moving across the field. #privatepracticesuccess #PsychFusion #LPC #LPCC #LCSW #Psychologist #burnoutprevention #burnoutrecovery
The Trust is joining forces with Hall of Famer Walter Jones for his game-changing "96 Check" Initiative. This movement encourages all players, past and present to take a moment and uplift their brothers up through a simple check-in. Jones created "96 Check" to pay it forward for his friend and former teammate Cortez Kennedy. Together, we are asking all of you to call or text someone and see how they are doing.

🎉 Next month marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights and equality in education. While this decision aimed to dismantle the "separate but equal" doctrine, its legacy is complex and far-reaching. I recently had the pleasure of teaching my students about this intricate legacy during our February Black History Month culture and diversity lessons. The immediate backlash following the decision led to the unjust removal of educators of color from the education industry for decades, perpetuating systemic racism and inequality. This is most evident in the persistent lack of diversity within the education sector. Before Brown v Board of Education, there were thousands of highly qualified Black and Brown teachers in segregated schools across the nation. However, following the decision, many of these schools were shut down, and there was a nationwide mass firing of Black and Brown educators. Despite their equal or even superior qualifications, they were often not hired in the newly integrated schools. Some districts even refused to integrate and instead closed all their schools for a few years. As with many aspects of society, representation matters. The absence of educators of color likely discouraged students of color from pursuing education degrees, further exacerbating the lack of diversity in the profession. This vicious cycle has been perpetuated for 70 years. As we celebrate progress, it's crucial to acknowledge and confront the ongoing echoes of this racist backlash that still reverberate today. Let's honor this anniversary by learning and sharing the accurate history, while also reaffirming our commitment to creating inclusive and equitable educational environments for all. #BrownvBoard #CivilRights #InclusiveEducation #EducationForAll 📚✊🏾
Join us on May 17, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education in partnership with the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). "The NAACP looks forward to reflecting and connecting with fearless trailblazers like the Little Rock Nine while convening some of our nation's brightest minds to re-energize and gear up for what's to come." — Derrick Johnson, NAACP President and CEO RSVP today: https://bit.ly/4aDoo2p Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, © Ernest C.
