TRAUMA AND MENTAL HEALTH SOCIAL WORK WITH URBAN POPULATIONS

Addressing the social problems associated with trauma and mental health amongst African Americans in urban environments, this book uses an African-centered lens to critique the most common practice models and interventions currently employed by social workers in the field.

Divided into four parts and grounded in traditional African cultural values, it argues that basic key values in a new clinical model for mental health diagnosis are:

• A spiritual component
• Collective/group approach
• Focus on wholeness
• Oneness with Nature
• Emphasis on truth, justice, balance, harmony, reciprocity, righteousness, and order

Being free from racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression, this African-centered approach is crucial for working with people of African origin who experience daily trauma through adverse living conditions.

This book will be key reading on any practice and direct service course at both BSW and MSW level and will be a useful supplement on clinical courses as well as those aimed at working with diverse populations and those living in urban environments.

We dedicate this book to our ancestors who were sold into slavery, stolen from our homeland on the continent of Africa, survived or died during the middle passage, enslaved for hundreds of years, and yet had the spiritual capacity and fortitude to maintain family in the midst of the MAAFA Great Disaster. We give thanks to God for you, we are because you were, we honor your sacrifice, and we will continue to thrive and illuminate your brilliant light, until we meet on the other side. For our children and the generations of our children, yet to come

Always know that to Be African is An Absolute Gift!
