Samenvatting:

“Too much. Too fast. Too soon.”

Many Black Americans related to this sentiment in 2020. Unprecedented challenges fell upon the world but impacted the Black community in in a way that was, for many, left unresolved. Tiara Johnson’s Living with 2020 Vision: The Mental Health Awakening in the Black Community examines the compounding and traumatic events of 2020 and how they had a greater impact than initially believed.

Johnson interviews experts and includes research to:

• Understand the “triple pandemic”
• Shed light on the challenges of schooling in isolation, particularly in low-income households
• Highlight collective trauma and PTSD
• Share organizations, resources, and techniques for advocacy and assistance

Living with 2020 Vision aims to shed light on the importance of recognizing and responding to the need for mental health services for the Black community. Wholeness can only occur when the whole body is healthy. Anyone who experienced or understood 2020’s challenges and would like to learn more about its impact or be an advocate would benefit from reading.
