  • Friday Night Soundbites: Culturally Responsive Mental Health with Dr. Zoe Smith

    In this episode of Friday Night Soundbites, hosted by Loucresie Rupert MD, the discussion centers around the importance of culturally responsive mental health services for Black and other POC communities. Dr. Zoe Smith, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Loyola University, Chicago, shares insights about her work with Action Lab, focusing on providing and advocating for culturally sensitive mental health assessments, particularly for adolescents with ADHD in the Black and Latino/Latina communities. Dr. Smith discusses her Robert Wood Johnson funded project, CRAFT, which offers free psycho-diagnostic assessments in the Chicagoland area, and her approach to challenging and improving mental health diagnostics through community-centered research. The episode also explores the concept of Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) as a distinct construct from ADHD and the importance of lived experiences in mental health advocacy.
