A new survey conducted during the pandemic by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University found a more- than-threefold increase in the percentage of U.S. adults who reported symptoms of psychological distress--from 3.9 percent in 2018 to 13.6 percent in April 2020. According to the Beth McGinty, one of the writers, “Health care providers, educators, social workers, and other front-line providers can help promote mental wellness and support.” Supportive Housing heroes often use book clubs or current event groups to accomplish this task. In this session, Rion Amilcar Scott, Reniqua Allen and Laura Everett will talk about their recent publications which each uniquely examine the complexi- ties of the world. These scribes will also share tips on the writing process and how their intelligent, fun and witty hard- backs shine lights on issues such as racism, oppression, women’s rights, environmentalism and other multifaceted issues.
