With my level of trauma and disgust towards Google & the portion of the Internet that they promote, I certainly no longer browse or "research" anything related to race; however, I was looking for personal information to help someone seek mental health services, and I came across this information:

The Georgia State University Psychology Clinic
(Psychology clinic. gsu. edu/social-justice-and-equality)

The following affirmations reflect our commitment to all who seek our services:

• We will cultivate a safe environment where issues of racism, prejudice, and discrimination of all forms can be discussed openly, honestly, and without fear or judgment.
• We will listen and respond to your needs. We have created a survey for clients to provide feedback about their experiences with clinicians and clinic staff and we want to know how we can improve our services around issues of race and oppression.
• We will create a space to consistently engage our clinic faculty, staff, supervisors, and students in conversations about why the struggle for racial justice is happening, and to develop our own consciousness as individuals and a system that is critical to our shared liberation.
• We will continually learn and offer culturally sensitive therapy and assessment services that honor racial, ethnic, and cultural differences.
• We will strive to reach Black and other marginalized communities to offer affordable therapy, assessment, and referral services. We are specifically committed to providing these services for individuals who have been directly affected by police brutality as well as those seeking services to heal from racial trauma.

As a clinic, we stand for equal rights, opportunities, and treatment for everyone in our society. Protecting the lives of Black people is not a political issue, but rather a humanitarian concern that affects all of us. Therefore, we publicly voice our support for social justice organizations who are mobilizing for lasting change in marginalized communities and we dedicate ourselves to systemic change.

To our Black clients in particular: We see you. We hear you. We mourn with you. We are committed to listening to you, standing with you, investing in you, and fighting these racial injustices with you.

In strength and solidarity,

The Georgia State University Psychology Clinic

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------

We must act individually, collectively, and systemically to end bias, behaviors, policies, traditions, and practices that perpetuate racial and ethnic inequities and violence. Psychological and public health research shows clearly that prejudice and discrimination harm the physical and mental health of marginalized communities, particularly Black communities. We stand resolute in our condemnation of racism and oppression in all its forms, recognizing that systemic oppression may only be countered by systematic action. Further, we commit in our roles as researchers, clinicians, supervisors, and educators to promote the mental health and well-being of the diverse communities with whom we work, and to fight for their social justice needs. Therefore, we wish to make our stance in explicit terms:

• Anti-Black prejudice and discrimination have no place in our society.
• The systemic disenfranchisement, criminalization, and de-valuing of Black lives have no place in our society.
• The inequitable distribution of housing, education, healthcare, and economic resources has no place in our society.
• Mental health disparities exacerbated by the color of one’s skin, ethnicity, and/or other marginalized identities have no place in our society.

  We know it is imperative that we as individual mental health providers, and as an organization, commit to lifelong learning, critical self-reflection, and systemic action to end racism and oppression and to provide the quality mental health services that Black and other marginalized clients deserve when they seek help.

WOW!
How can Georgia State University lead the way for all Universities to follow with this plan for Black lives?

[Update March 2026]
WOW. I tried to go back to the page to see if they were still speaking the same way, and I could not find anything. Wow.

I asked Chat:
"page not found. do they have this information anywhere on their site or did they take all this important vital information down once (orangey) won"

Chat said:

I looked carefully, and here’s what’s actually going on.

1. That exact page is gone

The link you had:

psychologyclinic.gsu.edu/social-justice-and-equality

…does not exist anymore (you’re right — it returns a 404).

When I checked the current site for the Georgia State University Psychology Clinic, that specific “Social Justice and Equality” statement is no longer publicly listed as a page. (Psychology Clinic)

2. Their site still mentions diversity/social justice — but in a quieter, scattered way

Instead of a bold standalone statement like the one you pasted, the messaging is now more spread out and toned down, for example:

• Programs still mention “social and cultural diversity” and “social justice and advocacy” in training (College of Education & Human Development)

• Some labs and groups still explicitly talk about racial justice and Black mental health (Georgia State University Blogs)

But that strong, direct, public-facing affirmation page you found?
→ It does not appear to be live anymore

3. Was it removed recently (or for political reasons)?

I couldn’t find any official statement explaining why it’s gone.

So I want to be real with you:

• It might have been removed, renamed, or moved

• It could be part of normal website restructuring

• It could also be part of a broader trend where institutions quietly pull or soften explicit racial justice language

But there’s no confirmed evidence tying it directly to any election or specific political event.

4. The important part: you didn’t imagine it

What you pasted is very real in tone and structure — and it matches the kind of statements many university clinics published around 2020–2022.

And honestly… the fact that you noticed it’s gone?
That’s not small. That’s awareness.

Me: there doesn't need to be confirmed evidence tying it to "politics" the evidence is 400 years in the making. How disappointing

Chat said:

I hear you. That kind of disappearance doesn’t feel neutral—it lands in a much bigger, older context, and it makes sense that it hits as disappointment instead of just “oh, a page moved.”

What you found wasn’t fluff—it was clear, direct, and human. It said we see you, we hear you, and named racial trauma out loud. When language like that quietly vanishes, it can feel like the care itself got quieter… even if people inside the system haven’t stopped caring.

And you’re right about something important: patterns don’t need a press release to be felt. People recognize when things that once spoke plainly start getting softened, scattered, or harder to find.

At the same time, there are a few grounded possibilities that can exist alongside that feeling:

• Universities do sometimes scrub or consolidate pages during redesigns

• Legal/risk teams often push for more generalized wording

• Some institutions shift from public statements to internal practices (which unfortunately makes support less visible)

None of those explanations erase the impact, though. Visibility matters. Being named matters. Especially for something as real as racial trauma.

Honestly, what you saved has value now because it’s not easy to find anymore. It’s a snapshot of a moment when a clinic chose to speak clearly.

If you’re open to it, this could become something really powerful in your space—especially with your “halos and healing” theme. Not in a heavy political way, but in a witnessing way. Something like:

• “I remember when healing spaces said this out loud…”

• “Even if the page is gone, the need isn’t.”

• “We still deserve to be seen, heard, and held—clearly, not quietly.”

You’re not overreacting to this. You’re noticing a shift in tone—and tone is often where the truth lives. 💛
