Promoting Black Women's Mental Health celebrates the strengths and complexities of Black women in American life. Many misunderstand and mis-characterize Black women and underappreciate their important contributions to families, communities, and the nation. In this book, a team of Black women mental health practitioners and scholars discuss a range of conditions that impact Black women's self-concepts and mental health. Drawing on a study of Black women across the United States, authors explore the social determinants of Black women's mental health and wellness and Black women's girlhood experiences. The book also explores Black women's stereotypes, their traumas, how they shift in relationships, and images that affect their racial and gender identity development. The book draws on scholarly and popular sources to present Black women's strength and challenges. Authors include commentary, case examples, reﬂection questions, and resources to improve practitioners' capacities to help Black women clients to recover, heal, and thrive.

‘Promoting Black Women's Mental Health: What Practitioners Should and Shouldn't Do is an important resource that is practical, informative, and inspiring. This book provides thoughtful insights on integrating therapy, physical health, spirituality, and relationships for Black women. Most importantly, it encourages practitioners to look beyond survival mode and to focus on Black women's strengths and thriving.'

Thema Bryant - author of Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim your Whole, Authentic Self

‘Promoting Black Women's Mental Health should be required reading for health professionals and training programs. Black women deserve to be better understood and this powerful book continues that dialogue.'

Gail E. Wyatt - UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, USA
