Reviews
Rich in reflections that will revive your mental health and transform the way you practice self-care, Rheeda Walker has masterfully crafted the ultimate guide to self-awareness, self-accountability, and self-healing.
This is a must-read resource for Black folks who face systematic racism and oppression every day. In The Unapologetic Workbook for Black Mental Health, Walker convincingly describes how racial oppression has shaped the mental health reality of Black people for generations by providing unique and complex insights while integrating psychological science and cultural values. She then brilliantly empowers the reader with skills to maximize psychological fortitude—fortitude needed in a society rife with racial discrimination.
Chock-full of thought-provoking questions, brimming with concrete strategies and steps, The Unapologetic Workbook for Black Mental Health is a gift to every Black person who yearns to thrive emotionally and is ready to begin tackling the stuff that gets in the way—the stress of relationships, family and work, the impact of racism, and our sometimes-ineffective efforts to cope. This workbook guides us through it all. Wise and warm!
