Please allow yourself to feel. We are experiencing high stress from the Coronavirus pandemic and the shooting of innocent African Americans. To help manage your stress, try writing down what you are feeling, write poems, pray, sing uplifting songs; remember that your feelings are valid. At the same time, reach out to your support people and share how you are feeling. Encourage your African American clients to find African American support groups. Have your client contact their health care provider to for support. Provide them with resources that will link them to culturally competent services within their community.
