Patreon Sample: How Black Americans helped solidify access to public education

Following the Civil War in the USA, during what became known as the Reconstruction Era, freed Black Americans fought hard to establish communities and defend their rights. None of these struggles were more important than access to education, and the efforts of Black American pioneers of public education helped to form the model of publicly funded school for children in the US, as well as codify this into law. Check out www.dcoffeyfoundation.org to support this month's charity-of-choice, helping young people in need to further their education through athletic scholarships.

This podcast explores the topic of psychology through a variety of lenses, focusing in on different aspects of mental health, trauma, stigma, and more. Everything from anxiety to coping with loss to drug addiction. Not only is it rare to find a podcast exclusively dedicated to psychology and psychotherapy (though I’m quite sure there are plenty out there), but I find this show has the remarkable feature of being accessible to both laypeople and professionals alike.
Awesome!
