Students of color who attend predominately white institutions have reported experiencing racism, discrimination, or racial microaggression which has led to physiological, psychological, or behavioral stress responses coined as racial battle fatigue (RBF), a newer term describing these effects. This project sought to understand students of color's experiences of RBF through a focus support group while formulating coping mechanisms to assist students of color who may face RBF to build resiliency. The focus support group discussion concentrated on three main themes: Racial Battle Fatigue Awareness, Racial Battle Fatigue Experience, and Coping and Racial Battle Fatigue. Results from this study sought to increase awareness of RBF to improve support and resources. Awareness of RBF was significantly increased in the participant (50%, n = 1) after the completion of the focus support group.
