Buffers Against Discrimination-Induced Stress
A university administration wants to develop a program to address the significant stress experienced by students from a marginalized group due to frequent encounters with discrimination on campus. Based on established psychological principles for protecting such groups, which of the following proposed programs would be the most comprehensive and effective?
A city council implements a two-part program to address the stress experienced by marginalized communities. The first part involves launching a public awareness campaign with strict new guidelines for reporting and penalizing discriminatory behavior in housing and employment. The second part involves funding community centers that offer peer support networks and mental health resources for individuals who have faced discrimination. How do these two parts of the program relate to the core strategies for mitigating the negative effects of discrimination?
