Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing
Ratings1
Average rating4
I loved how this book went more in depth about racial trauma and how systematic discrimination, especially against Black and Indigenous people, negatively impact their mental health. I especially appreciate how relevant current events, such as the murder of George Floyd impacted black people's mental health. I also liked how this book talks about ADHD and how ADHD can be confused for childhood trauma, which this books goes in depth about.
I would like to see more research about how people with disabilities are at increased risk for getting trauma from being bullied by their peers in multiple places, such as the education system and everyday life. I also would've appreciated it if this book goes in depth about how other communities of color, namely mixed-race, Asian, and Latin American, are oppressed in the name of white supremacy.
