Antiracism in Mental Health Fellowship:
Ignite Your Antiracist Clinical Practice
Healthcare providers can no longer stand by, disconnected from their sociopolitical context and idle in the face of injustice. Healthcare is political, and mental healthcare is political. The worldwide call to action has never been louder. Here’s your opportunity to answer it.
LEARN MORETestimonial about Dr. Legha’s Workshop “Teaching the Legacy of Slavery in American Medicine and Psychiatry:
"This lecture, despite being extraordinarily difficult, was the most effective lecture/discussion I have ever attended during my time here at David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM). The session needs to be included yearly and needs to be made mandatory for all DGSOM students."
- Second-Year Medical Student, DGSOM (2019)
Hello, I'm Dr. Rupi Legha
Daughter. Aunty. Scholar. Activist. Friend.
I am the daughter of Punjabi-Sikh immigrants and was born in Houston, Texas. My proudest title is aunty to my beloved nibling and dog-mom to my unruly doxies Saint (a.k.a. Yves Saint Laurent) and Sachi (a.k.a. Versace).
After graduating from Harvard Medical School, I completed nine years of post-graduate training in adult psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, global mental health, and health services research.
My global mental health experience, which involved living and working in Haiti and Peru for three years, was a highlight of my career. After I completed training in 2018, I worked in various psychiatric clinical care settings while developing innovative medical education content pertaining to racism and antiracism.
COVID changed everything for me. It made me realize I could no longer continue practicing in standard mental health settings, where I witnessed racism’s devastation on a daily basis and feared I was doing more harm than good.
I believe that the people I see in my practice find their way to me as much as I find my way to them. I feel the same way about the learners I get to collaborate with–like you! I am thrilled to help you unlock more freedom and joy in your antiracist clinical practice.
