Overview
Healing is an act of resistance, and self-compassion is power.
Racial trauma is often more than one isolated incident; it’s the daily stress of navigating a world that misunderstands or invalidates your experience. Over time, this stress can lead to anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and exhaustion. Stand Up, Speak Up, and Heal offers practical, culturally rooted tools to help you manage emotions, calm your body, and reclaim your peace.
Written by three BIPOC mental health professionals, this groundbreaking and practical guide offers dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for calming your nervous system, managing intense emotions, and healing from the effects of race-based stress.
With this empowering guide, you’ll learn to:
- Understand the emotional and physical toll of racial stress and trauma
- Stay grounded, centered, and in control
- Communicate boundaries and self-advocate with confidence
- Practice mindful self-care that nourishes your joy and energy
- Build lasting resilience and strengthen your community connections
With real-life stories, culturally attuned exercises, and “Mindful Moment Reflections” in every chapter, Stand Up, Speak Up, and Heal is more than a mental health book—it’s a guide to collective and personal liberation. It helps you move from survival to strength, and from pain to power, while staying rooted in self-love and pride.
