DID YOU KNOW?
By 8 months old, babies can notice differences between races.
By ages 2 to 4, children have an understanding of racial bias.
Kids may become set in their beliefs about racial bias and cultural understanding at age 12.

Racism and discrimination can contribute to health inequities, including mental health symptoms.
We believe the best way to combat social injustice is through increasing our knowledge and awareness about it. We have created a list of our favorite resources, including websites, videos, books, and podcasts about social justice to share with you. As new resources become available, we will continue to add to this list.
