Self Care is Radical | Raymonda Reese | TEDxSeattleUniversity

Raymonda C. Reese is a mental health clinician and a University of Washington School of Social Work Graduate. Through her time working with youth, she has learned valuable lessons about self-care and the importance of community care. In her talk, Raymonda discusses the differences between self care and community care and teaches how to create spaces for people to support ourselves and those around us. Raymonda C. Reese is a mental health clinician and a University of Washington School of Social Work graduate. As part of her advanced social work training, Raymonda was a research fellow in the school-sponsored, five-year Communities in Action initiative. In this role, she collected critical data for evidence-based programs designed to help prevent the social, academic and mental health problems among young people in Southeast and Central Seattle. She also collaborated with parents, students, and local school staff in the area to provide important social and academic support. Raymonda graduated from Carleton College in 2009 with a degree in African-American studies and a minor in education. Soon afterwards, she began work in The Schuler Scholar Program, which equips bright, motivated young people—typically first-general college-bound students of color from low-income families—with the support they need to gain access to and succeed at selective colleges and beyond. She later served as a research associate with the Spencer Foundation in Chicago, which invests in education research to improve public policy, practices and, ultimately, the student experience. Raymonda hopes to continue to build a career on her passion for improving the behavioral health of adolescents and building community capacity to address pressing social and educational issues facing today’s youth. In 2015, she was awarded the School’s National Leader in Behavioral Health Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
