Cool Pose: The Dilemma of Black Manhood Continues and the Negative Impact on Mental Well-Being
Presenter:
Dr. Parris Carter, Ed.D.
Dean of the Graduate College, Wiley University
Description:
The term Cool Pose are masks that black men wear to hide internal insecurities (Majors & Billson, 1992). Furthermore, the historical pressures from society have exaggerated the need to wear these masks and have added to the weight many black men carry each day. This session will explore the introduction of the Cool Pose ideology, and how it continues to surface today. Understanding this context in mental health will afford the creation of successful strategies for working with this population.
