On this episode of Black on Black education, we had an amazing conversation with Tarsha Wiggins. Last week we talked about the importance of mental health within the education system and for teachers. This week we talk about the stigma of mental health existing within the Black community. We cover the different ways our community deflect talking about or addressing mental health and how much damage it creates. We discuss how the Black community as a whole need therapy geared towards our needs because we experience direct, vicarious and generational trauma. Tarsha proceeds to explain what Trap Therapy is and how this approach has transformative results among our people especially among our youth.
