Health & Wellness: Mental Resources
Remember Elijah? Under the broom tree, God didn’t give him a lecture—He gave him a meal and a nap. 💤
In a world that demands we grind until we’re empty, choosing to rest is a radical act of faith. We are leaning into ‘Rest is Resistance’ by Tricia Hersey this week. It’s more than just sleep; it’s about reclaiming our divine right to be still.
How are you honoring your ‘broom tree’ moment today? 🌿
Faith is our foundation, but wisdom is our toolset. 🛠️
Dr. Rheeda Walker’s ‘The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health’ is a must-read for anyone looking for practical, psychological fortitude in a world that can feel heavy. We aren’t just ‘holding on’—we are building the strength to thrive.
Wholeness is our inheritance. Let’s use the tools God has placed in our hands. 📖✨
You cannot be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. 🧊
This week, we’re diving into Peter Scazzero’s ‘Emotionally Healthy Spirituality.’ It’s time to look beneath the surface. Real discipleship means letting God heal our hearts, our histories, and our habits.
Let’s grow deep so we can stand tall. 🌱
Breaking the stigma is a communal effort. 🤝
The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation (@blhfoundation) is doing the work to ensure our community has access to culturally competent support. Whether you need a scholarship for therapy or just a space where you are seen, there is help available.

Your peace is a priority. 📍
Finding the right support shouldn’t feel like another burden. Whether you are looking for a directory of licensed therapists or a safe space to share your story, @therapyforblackgirls and @therapyforblackmen are here for you.
Taking the step to talk to someone is a fundamental act of honoring the temple God gave you. Be kind to your mind today. 🕯️
Healing happens where we live. 🏠✂️
From the sanctuary to the barbershop, mental health advocacy is everywhere. We are highlighting NAMI FaithNet and The Confess Project for their incredible work in providing tools for faith communities and Black men to lead the charge in wellness.
We are a community that moves toward healing together.
