The Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity (CoRED) sponsored and coordinated a webinar, Holding on to Audre: Self-Care for LGBTQ+ and POC Graduate Students, which took place on April 26, 2019. The presenters were Arianne E. Miller, PhD, from San Diego State University, and Jan E. Estrellado, PhD, from Alliant International University. This webinar explored the challenges of self-care for LGBTQ+ and POC graduate students in the mental health field and identified strategies for practicing self-care during graduate school. There were more than 70 regisrants for the webinar. Thank you, Arianne and Jan, for a truly memorable webinar.
