Resource: Affirming Reads + Podcasts
It's okay to need help sometimes. In fact, it's good.
This edition of DBW's Mental Health Resource Digest features affirming reads and podcasts that will inspire and inform. Plus, we've got more! Once done here, make sure to check out these additional editions of our Mental Health Resource Digest:
Reads
Rest for Resistance
Diverse groups of people of color are left out of mental health systems and cannot find affirming therapists, and LGBTQIA communities struggle with getting our emotional needs met. Rest for Resistance are writings and art by queer and trans people of color that provide affirming alternatives.
Bloom
Bloom Magazine is a publication sponsored by redflowersCARE, a subdivision of redflowers, focused on healing and restoring the souls of black identities and black women through the exploration of identity, self-actualization, and self-care. Bloom was created because there are few or no magazines that look at care, mental health, and wellness from an intersectional approach in regards to black women and black identities.
