Jan Desper Peters

In honor of Minority Mental Health Month, host Jan Desper Peters is joined by Dr. Vabren Watts, Deputy Director of the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Division of Diversity and Health. Dr. Watts received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Meharry Medical College and completed his post-doctoral training in Cardiology Research at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He has worked in a space where you find few African Americans, research, and scientific journalism. Take a deep dive with Jan and the witty Dr. Watts as they discuss the science behind COVID-19, the history of health inequity, and the resources available through APA addressing Black mental health. Are you concerned about finding providers that look like you? Want to explore the history of mistrust between medical professionals and the Black community? Tune in for the answers on this episode!
