Radical Healing Community-Based Participatory Research to Eliminate Health Disparities

In “Radical Healing Community-Based Participatory Research to Eliminate Health Disparities,” authors Julia Roncoroni and Carolyn M. Tucker examine the radical healing community-based participatory research (CBPR) model in response to the effects COVID-19 and racism leading to the need for a creative approach to health interventions. They provide examples of a program that helped improve the health outcomes and quality of life of Black older adults living in the low-income area in Florida. Authors warn that an important implication of the radical healing CBPR model is that counseling and clinical psychologists must expand their roles, venues, and counseling frameworks for providing counseling services to Black Americans, particularly those living in low-income communities.
