The conversation around Black men and their mental health is one we can never have too many times. Career therapist and author Ajuma Muhammad speaks with Before You Go hosts Nicole Franklin and Bryant Monteilh and recalls memorable cases and offers advice for our daily practice in mental wellness.
When Ajuma Muhammad was approached with a four-year old Black boy terrorizing the classroom, he relied on his years of practice and observations from his world travels to address the client's concerns. As we continue to perpetuate a climate where stress and distress affect the life expectancy of Black men, dedicated professionals like Mr. Muhammad are even more in demand. His loving and familial approach to healing definitely stem from African roots. This author of 101 Proven and Effective Strategies for Empowering Black Boys has thoughts on how life's choices and care for one another are the answer to productive lives well-lived.
