Witte zorg, Zwart leed

Waarom onze mentale gezondheidszorg faalt voor mensen van kleur

Mensen van kleur hebben een verhoogd risico op mentale
gezondheidsklachten. Toch blijft de mentale gezondheidszorg vooral
afgestemd op de normen, ziektebeelden en ervaringen van Witte mensen.

Dit boek beschrijft hoe racisme de mentale gezondheid beïnvloedt, hoe het binnendringt in de mentale gezondheidszorg en hoe we het kunnen aanpakken, met bijzondere aandacht voor de Belgische context.
