It takes CourageMany immigrant families flee to the United States to flee from war, abuse, lawlessness, or poverty. Most are forced to leave behind everything they own, taking only their courage and hope for a better future. Sadly, they also bring the trauma they’ve been forced to endureYou can’t know what you’re not taughtBillions of people, especially immigrants, aren’t taught how to cope with trauma. The men try to suppress it while the women cry in secret, both incorrectly thinking they’re being strong but they have no idea that by suppressing it, it comes out in other forms, none of them good.While they try to assimilate in a new country, unable to be understood by the language barrier or mocked for their thick accents, taking menial, low-paying jobs even though they are intelligent college graduates, looked over, all the while feeling pressure from their culture to keep to their culture so that it doesn’t disappear - all while suppressing intense, emotional trauma is not easy.In her book, Immigrant Mental Health, first time author Fanus Woldegebriel shares her amazing personal story in a fresh, easy to read style that will keep your eyes glued to the page and get your thoughts churning. She connects with her readers by her brutal transparency and her logical and insightful realizations. 'I want to share the truth about the power of hope. You should hope for a better tomorrow because you deserve it. You can and will heal. Even if you’re suffering from mental illness, manifesting hope from your mind to your words to your actions will change your life for the better.' Fanus WoldegebrielJournal your thoughts, emotions, and fears as you work your way through this book.
