It's past time to take Black mental health seriously. It's time to intentionally cultivate resilience, build unshakable confidence, claim your truth, and step into unapologetic joy with this workbook.

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. In order to reclaim a life worth living, you must first reclaim your mind. 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--from the author of The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health--offers a step-by-step, interactive journey toward better mental health. You do not have to be at the mercy of everyday circumstances that would otherwise demean you or steal your joy. Grounded in both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), 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
  • How to overcome internalized racism and explore meaningful Blackness

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