I Am Not OK: The Black Mental Health Experience in the Divided State of America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798401789822)

With the discussion of mental health on the rise in America, it is important to explore the
unique challenges faced by our black communities. Racism, discrimination, harassment, and
social profiling are a burden placed on black citizens simply because of their skin color. These
daily encounters play a significant role in the physical and mental well-being of children and
adults alike.
It is important for every citizen to understand and recognize situations and circumstances that
lead to mental health issues and how to recognize the warning signs that you or a loved one
may need help.
In I Am Not Okay, author Dave Kennedy reveals the powerful divide in America that affects
mental health care among its citizens. As a US Army Veteran and Firefighter Rescue Captain,
Dave has the first-hand experience with the consequence of racism, discrimination, and mental
health in today's volatile climate. Dave's pointed and reassuring discussion is filled with
personal experiences and perspectives guaranteed to enlighten every reader
