Has your child experienced racial aggression, bullying, or harassment? Have they ever asked you why they are treated differently? If so, you are not alone. Discrimination and racism in society are a constant stressor and painful topic of conversation for many Black families.

In this much-needed resource for parents of Black children, race and mental health expert Erlanger Turner combines evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills with mindfulness and liberation psychology to help your kids cope with race-based stress, challenge systemic oppression and marginalization, and thrive. Using the author's innovative HEAL method (Healing Emotions and Anxiety through Liberation), you can help your kids:

● Better understand what causes racial stress and how to navigate it

● Take charge of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors

● Feel empowered and prepared to cope with in-the-moment racism

● Cultivate racial literacy and become advocates for change

Using the HEAL approach in this workbook, you'll know what to say to your child who has experienced or witnessed racism, when to say it, and how to help them heal and flourish.
