Synopsis

There is a Black mental health crisis in our world today, and it is tied to disproportionately high rates of chronic illness, poverty, under-education, unacknowledged and untreated trauma, and structural racism. Depression, anxiety, and suicide were increasing before the global pandemic, but have since escalated even further. Whether you suffer yourself, have a loved one who needs help, or are a mental health professional working with the Black community, this workbook will be your lifeline.

This workbook offers a step-by-step, interactive journey toward better mental health. You'll gain powerful skills to help you effectively manage stress, make self-care a priority, and find lasting emotional balance and well-being in a world still steeped in systemic inequality, discrimination, and microaggressions.

With this workbook, you'll discover:

● What "psychological fortitude" is, and why's it's so important

● How to set boundaries and say "no" when you are feeling overwhelmed

● How racism can impact your mental health—and what to do about it

If you're ready to reclaim wholeness, build resilience, and thrive, this powerful workbook will be your guide.
