About this listen
An unapologetic exploration of the Black mental health crisis - and a comprehensive road map to getting the care you deserve in an unequal system.
We can’t deny it any longer: there is a Black mental health crisis in our world today. Black people die at disproportionately high rates due to chronic illness, suffer from poverty, undereducation, and the effects of racism. This book is an exploration of Black mental health in today’s world, the forces that have undermined mental health progress for African Americans, and what needs to happen for African Americans to heal psychological distress, find community, and undo years of stigma and marginalization in order to access effective mental health care.
In The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, psychologist and African American mental health expert Rheeda Walker offers important information on the mental health crisis in the Black community, how to combat stigma, spot potential mental illness, how to practice emotional wellness, and how to get the best care possible in system steeped in racial bias.
This breakthrough book will help you:
- Recognize mental and emotional health problems
- Understand the myriad ways in which these problems impact overall health and quality of life and relationships
- Develop psychological tools to neutralize ongoing stressors and live more fully
- Navigate a mental health care system that is unequal
It’s past time to take Black mental health seriously. Whether you suffer yourself, have a loved one who needs help, or are a mental health professional working with the Black community, this book is an essential and much-needed resource.

It spoke to my soul
This is the first audio book I've completed from beginning to end. When I say this spoke directly to my soul, I'm not lying. I think it's very well written and I love how the author includes everyone. From the single working female to the working dad to the single moms, both husband and wife, siblings etc.. Everyone can relate to this book she gives scenarios that we've each been it. It was great to find a book on mental health that was relatable. The cultural references were all relatable. The fact that it was written by a sister gave me a sense of belonging. She gets it, I get it and can relate in everyway. While mental health affects everybody, I bought this book because it documented and acknowledged the struggles we as Black people go through on a daily basis. We just push through because we have to and don't take the time to deal with things that come our way, because we can't be stressed or don't have time to be stressed etc. I don't ever leave such lengthy reviews but I'm telling you this book spoke to my soul. Very good listen/read and very helpful especially during these times.
