-
- Mental Health
Pull out those notebooks because today’s lesson in community care is a powerful one! Today, we are welcoming Minaa B. LMSW, to the podcast to learn all about her new book,"Owning Our Struggles" as well as healing in community care. From how to be a better peer to culturally competent mental health care, we spoke about how self care is the bridge to community care; and community care is the bridge to community healing.
Throughout this conversation we covered:
Minaa’s new book “Owning Our Struggles: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World”
Navigating community care + mental health advice on the internet
How Minaa’s personal experiences influenced her philosophy
Realizing the power of group therapy
How to recognize when content isn’t for you (& more on digital communities)
Community care translation into politics + systematic level community healing
Minaa’s favorite actionable healing tools
Gratitude, grounding, co-regulating with community, & more
5 quick tips to be a better peer
As Minaa reminds us, “we are not healing to exist within a vacuum; we are healing to integrate into community”. In OWNING OUR STRUGGLES (on sale: 08/22/23) Minaa helps us to find the courage to start accepting and healing from our pasts through the power of self-realization and community care.
In this powerful and practical guide, Minaa shares therapeutic tools, client stories, and actionable insights to help you on your healing journey, along with reflections from her personal experiences. Each chapter focuses on a common emotional struggle—from moving past isolation and despair, to navigating racial trauma, developing emotional maturity, and finding our village.
