“The C.A.R.E. Package for Racial Healing: Cultivating Awareness & Resilience through Empowerment” (2022)
The C.A.R.E. Package for Racial Healing focuses on "Cultivating Awareness, Resilience, and Empowerment" for Black youth! This C.A.R.E. Package includes tools and resources to help Black teens explore racial identity, racial socialization, relaxation, emotion regulation, cognitive coping, and behavioral strategies for coping with experiences with racial stressors. Dr. Metzger is your virtual C.A.R.E. Package Companion, and she will be here to guide you along the way. To make the C.A.R.E. Package, we worked with therapists, experts in Black youth development, and parents and teenagers who had experiences very similar to the ones we discussed! The best part: there's science behind it all? We used the ADAPT-ITT Model to combine existing evidence-based strategies that we know work! This package teaches self-directed cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills for overcoming racial stressors with your family, friends, and community.
“Making Black Lives Matter: Confronting Anti-Black Racism” (2021)
At the heart of racist attitudes and behaviors is anti-Black racism, which simply put, is the disregard and disdain of Black life. Anti-Black racism negatively impacts every aspect of the lives of Black people. Edited by renowned scholar and psychologist Kevin Cokley, Making Black Lives Matter: Confronting Anti-Black Racism explores the history and contemporary circumstances of anti-Black racism, offers powerful personal anecdotes, and provides recommendations and solutions to challenging anti-Black racism in its various expressions.
