Abstract

Race scholars have discussed how the pandemic has disproportionately burdened marginalized communities and exacerbated pre-existing inequities, particularly for Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) in the United States (U.S.). One glaring social determinant during the time of the COVID-19 is racial discrimination. This chapter will discuss lessons learned regarding the negative impact of discrimination on BIPOC, especially as it pertains to their experiences of trauma. Some of these lessons include (1) the need for clinical psychologist to improve access to treatment through increased research on culturally adaptive interventions, (2) increased research on the effects of race-based trauma on mental health symptomatology, (3) policy and institutional changes that reduce disparities in access to care, and (4) increased education for psychologists around billing procedures for individuals with race-based stress.
