The psychological residuals of slavery and their impact on African-American individuals and families will be the subject of a workshop on Friday, March 2, at California State University, Fresno.
The Division of Extended Education is sponsoring “Multicultural Considerations in Working with African Americans” as part of its focus in 2000-01 on multicultural issues for those working in mental health, counseling and medical fields.
