Why is it important?
MENA populations are often understudied, including within psychology research. This article gives light to a marginalized group with the hope of informing training directors, professors, supervisors, and colleagues of important considerations when working with MENA students.
Perspectives
Writing this article was incredibly meaningful as a MENA psychologist, with MENA co-authors, and I hope MENA students can feel empowered as they read it. I also hope faculty can be better informed after reading the article.
