'Transforming Heartache into H.O.P.E' by Tarrent-Arthur Henry
I think, we all need to have open conversations about mental health within our community, and the ideas expressed here, applies to all. The book begins by introducing H.O.P.E., which stands for Help, Offer Support, Provide Education, and Encourage. Emphasizing the significance of raising awareness about mental health and getting those suffering the help they need, the book lists the initiatives taken by the black church. The impact, this programme had on the community as a whole is also analyzed. Steps are suggested that will augur a holistic improvement in the mental health standards, like better awareness, easy access to help, and a ready acceptance.
The book tries to provide practical advice and tips, and to ignite free conversations on such issues.
I think the book has won, as the concise lists and a quiz at the end of each heading re-validates.
