Systemic racism is a public health crisis. - Ta-Nehisi Coates.

A must-read for anyone who wants to understand the impact of systemic racism on mental health.
In this groundbreaking book, Jarell Bempong, a Black therapist and anti-racism advocate, exposes the hidden truths and injustices that perpetuate discrimination in mental health care, workplaces, and society.

With meticulous research and compassionate insight, Bempong delves into the historical roots of systemic racism in mental health care, revealing how these ingrained structures continue to affect diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. They explore the impact of implicit bias on individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, shedding light on the urgent need for change.

Moving beyond therapy, Bempong unpacks biases and fosters cultural consciousness, empowering individuals to challenge harmful narratives and actively promote inclusivity in their everyday lives. They provide practical tools for recognizing personal biases, developing cultural awareness, and advocating for mental health needs. From the workplace to society at large, readers will gain valuable strategies to challenge discrimination and create supportive environments.
