EMBRace (Engaging, Managing, and Bonding through Race) is a research program at the University of Michigan with the primary goal of reducing stress among Black families by helping parents and adolescents address difficult topics through race-related dialogue, a technique widely known as racial socialization.

Overall we hope to reduce racial stress, promote bonding for families, and improve psychological well-being.
