This workbook offers Black teens evidence-based strategies to manage emotions in the face of race-based stress due to microaggressions, implicit bias, overt racism, and vicarious racism-and provides tools to help teens feel empowered to resist racism and thrive throughout their lives.
Powerful skills to help you heal from racial stress and trauma, resist racism in your day-to-day life, and thrive.

And you may even have moments when your heart races and you fear something bad will happen. You should know that you are not alone, and what happened to you isn't your fault. Most importantly, there are tools you can use to work through these difficult emotions, regain your confidence, and move forward from your experience. This workbook can help guide you, step by step.
