ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

This column discusses burnout and moral injury among Black psychiatrists and other Black mental health professionals and highlights the contribution of racism to these outcomes. In the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic and racial turmoil have revealed stark inequities in health care and social justice, and demand for mental health services has increased. To meet the mental health needs of communities, racism must be recognized as a factor in burnout and moral injury. The authors offer preventive strategies to support the mental health, well-being, and longevity of Black mental health professionals.
