African-Americans & the Mental Health Profession Perspectives for Social Workers
More African-Americans are utilizing psychotherapy than ever before. Unfortunately, many continue to distrust and have disdain for these services. In large part this is due to the historic backdrop of racism and discrimination in this country, as well as a history of bias that has plagued the mental health profession itself. Learn the history of African-Americans in mental health treatment to better understand the possible concerns many have when seeking treatment. Explore cultural issues that hinder many professionals from helping this population, and learn ways to better serve it.
This class qualifies for 3.00 Contact Hours approved by the Michigan Social Work Continuing Education Collaborative. For more information, visit Social Worker Professional Continuing Education.

History of Eating
The story of our fruits and vegetables is the story of people-explorers, colonizers, missionaries, conquerors, plant hunters, botanists, and frontiersmen-who carried seeds and shoots and plants around the world. "As American as apple pie," the saying goes, but apples aren't American and neither are peaches, pears, or peas. However, the Americas contributed much to the world. Learn what common fruit we eat nearly every day that was declared a vegetable by the U.S. Supreme Court. What common vegetable did English women wear in their hair? Come find out so you can share with others.
