University of Dayton Reaffirms Values with Second Flyers Plan for Community Excellence

The University of Dayton (UD) is reaffirming its Catholic, Marianist commitment to fostering an inclusive campus community with the launch of its second Flyers Plan for Community Excellence. This initiative builds upon an initial strategic plan from 2020 and insights from a 2023 campus climate survey. According to Tiffany Taylor, vice president for diversity and inclusion, the new plan aims to cultivate an excellent climate where faculty, staff, and students feel valued and connected. Key components include inclusive professional and leadership development, regular performance evaluations, and participation in climate assessments for faculty and staff. The plan also focuses on advancing student knowledge and respect for diversity through classroom learning, residential experiences, and co-curricular activities, supported by a revisioning of 'Commitment to Community' and a new civic preparedness and dialogue initiative.

Thera Platform Emphasizes Culturally Responsive Online Therapy for BIPOC Clients

Thera Platform Emphasizes Culturally Responsive Online Therapy for BIPOC Clients

The online therapy platform Thera is distinguishing itself by focusing on culturally responsive mental health support, particularly for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients. Unlike many mainstream platforms that prioritize convenience and scale, Thera is built around the understanding that mental health is deeply intertwined with identity, culture, migration, and family systems. The platform allows clients to browse therapist profiles by language, cultural background, and specific areas of support, or to request assistance from a matching team. Thera aims to connect individuals with independent practitioners who can address concerns such as racial stress, migration grief, intergenerational trauma, and the complexities of living between cultures. This approach acknowledges that a therapist's cultural awareness can be as crucial as their clinical expertise for many clients.
