WRIT150- Health and Healing Retrospective

    In the beginning of the semester, there were so many parts of writing that I did not understand and have done wrong specifically within argumentative essays. I knew that when picking this specific class, I was going to enjoy the content due to it being about 'Health and Healing' and specifically medical ethics within the field I want to go down and that is exactly what the end resulted in. When it came to collaborating in workshops to brainstorm along with peer reviews I do think it was harder for me in the beginning due to in the past I thought I worked better alone but I found it very helpful being put in these groups and do believe that my papers benefitted from doing so. Being able to see my progress through the creation of this blog from the beginning of the semester to now has allowed me to find a new way to brainstorm all the ideas I have within my head and write them down on paper. I do now believe that this is my learning style for when I am choosing to start the brainstorm and drafting process of a paper I am choosing to write. I do think using a blog process in the future will help and I am glad to have learned how to brainstorm this way and other ways that will help me write in the future.

Black individuals have been taught to be strong and prepared for how the world sees us and to always keep our heads up but there comes a time when there's only so much one can take before they break. Due to the everyday fears black Americans have to watch out for and a lot of past trauma that they bury deep down, this contributes to the high rates of mental illnesses and keeps our community down as a whole. Information I need to find is specific data that shows how mental illnesses within the back community are higher and w...

WP4: Mental Health Within the Black Community

 When Finding sources, it did not surprise me as to how many articles and journals there were regarding how Mental Health affects the Black Community differently and the social determinants that play key factors in this reasoning. One source I found during the beginning of my research was a news source called, "Black and African American Communities and Mental Health". This article points out the societal issues and how they truly have affected the Black community and continue to have an impact on how there is a stigma behind Mental Health in our community up until this day. The article also focuses on what some treatment options could be to help this problem.  https://www.mhanational.org/issues/black-and-african-american-communities-and-mental-health
