The Weight I Carry
Black boys are disproportionately affected by the failures within each of Bronfenbrenner's systems. They are overdisciplined and under-supported in schools (Microsystem). Their families face barriers in connecting with institutions (Mesosystem). Policies and institutions impact them without ever knowing them (Exosystem). Media, culture, and systemic racism, self-oppression & self-hatred define their identity before they can (Macrosystem). These wounds, if unhealed, become patterns that echo across time (Chronosystem). This book is a call to action. To see, hear, protect, and advocate for Black boys-before the world decides who they are without ever asking. How the world around a Black boy can fail him, system by system, community by community, & household to household-affecting his confidence, safety, mental health, identity, and future.

Handbook of Feminisms in Japan
The Handbook of Feminisms in Japan seeks to give a broad and, even without prior knowledge of Japan, easily accessible introduction to a range of feminisms in this non-Western context. With a useful comparative framework, it aims to advance transnational and international perspectives on feminisms around the world. It identifies discourses, theoretical positions and areas of feminist activity or intervention that readily correspond with those of feminisms in other countries, presenting chapters on topics such as radical feminism, maternalism, anarchism, literature, religion and pornography, but it also includes entries on specific historical and socio-cultural configurations, such as Japan's women's liberation movement, Uman Ribu. Building on a growing body of erudite scholarship in Japanese, English and other languages, each chapter succinctly traces historical developments of particular discourses or movements and situates them in the local political and societal context while also making reference to the wider Asian and global contexts. The authors identify the central actors and discuss the theoretical implications and political dimensions of particular feminisms or aspects of feminism in Japan. The discussion in each chapter is based on relevant primary and secondary sources, thus introducing the reader to material for further reading and research.

Simultaneous Trauma
Trauma and depression are deeply interconnected, often forming an invisible burden that affects every aspect of a person's life. Traumatic experiences-whether from childhood, abuse, violence, or loss-can leave lasting emotional scars. These unresolved wounds can alter brain function, shape negative beliefs about the self, and trigger a persistent sense of sadness, hopelessness, or numbness commonly associated with depression.People struggling with trauma-induced depression may not always connect their current emotional state to past events. Symptoms like fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, withdrawal from others, or a loss of interest in life can gradually take over, making it harder to seek help. In some cases, shame, fear, or mistrust may prevent individuals from opening up about their pain.Understanding the link between trauma and depression is vital for healing. With the right support-such as therapy, medication, and compassionate community-people can begin to process their trauma, rebuild trust, and regain a sense of purpose. Healing is not linear, but it is possible. This article sheds light on the emotional complexity of trauma and depression, aiming to foster awareness, empathy, and hope for those on the path to recovery.

Going Solo
Originally published in 1985, this, at the time, controversial book explores the fundamental changes in personal relationships that had taken place over the previous decade, focusing on women who had deliberately chosen to have children outside a permanent relationship. After travelling widely throughout Britain, the United States and Holland meeting those personally involved, Jean Renvoize discusses why a growing number of women were deciding to become single mothers. She discovers the implications of this for the future of the family and for old-style love and commitment between the sexes. She analyses the position both of the children of these single families and of their mothers. She looks at men's feelings about being used a 'stud' and uncovers the desire of some men to have a family without being financially and emotionally involved with a long-term partner. Importantly, Jean Renvoize places the new style of personal relationship in the context of the advance of the women's movement. It is clear that ordinary and non-political women's and men's lives have been more fundamentally changed by feminism than they may realise. But few of the mothers interviewed by the author are actively feminist: lesbians apart, they all have in common past relationships with men, and would happily settle with the right man could their high expectations be met. Without exception, all those who made the deliberate choice to 'go solo' have loving, joyful and rewarding experiences of motherhood. Having a child alone has been fraught with problems for all, but those who have met the challenge have found such great fulfilment that one is faced with an inevitable question: are a woman and her child better off without a man? When so many marriages end in divorce, is a stable unit of two better than a broken unit of three?But also, might those without the motivation of successful 'solo mothers' rush thoughtlessly into motherhood - and find themselves exhausted, broke and very unhappy?Presenting in their own words the experiences of those directly involved, this was above all a practical book. It provided welcome and necessary insights into the changing pattern of relationships at the time - for the married and unmarried; for parents and non-parents. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

How to Handle More Than You Can Handle
A guide to navigating the emotional experience of caring for and raising disabled children with high-support needs, from a therapist and parent of a disabled child. Amanda Griffith-Atkins, a therapist who is also one of the millions of people raising a disabled child with high-support needs, knows firsthand about the dark places parents go--the grief, the anger, the frustration--and the shame these feelings can bring up. In her practice, and now her book, she gives parents an invaluable set of tools to find the strength, acceptance, and self-compassion to face these hard emotions to become a more forgiving and healthier version of themselves---and better caretakers for their children. She takes readers through the different emotions of this unique parenting journey: the shock of diagnosis, the fight for resources, the anxiety of navigating your child's growing independence, the uncertainty of how best to prepare for their future without you. Then she turns her lens to the parent's world and how to navigate the fraught territory of marriage, identity, expectations, guilt, managing non-disabled siblings, and more. She shows us that bringing your darkest feelings into the light and showing up as your full self is the best way to get out of survival mode. Because you--and your child--deserve it.

The Tech Exit
A road map to free your kids from the harms of digital technology and to recover the beauty, wonder, and true purpose of childhood--by a leading tech policy expert "We know smartphones can be harmful to kids and teens, but what can we do about it? In this indispensable guide, Clare Morell documents the solutions that actually work."--Cal Newport, author of Slow Productivity and Digital Minimalism It's no secret that addictive digital technologies like smartphones and social media apps are harming a generation of kids socially, mentally, and even physically. But a workable solution seems elusive. After all, don't kids need phones, and won't they be vulnerable or socially isolated without tech? Clare Morell, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and director of its Technology and Human Flourishing Project, argues that the answer is no. She exposes the lies parents have been sold about managing the dangers of tech through parental controls and screen-time limits, and demonstrates that another way is possible--even if your children are already using smartphones or social media. The Tech Exit maps a doable pathway to freedom from digital technology for families, local communities, and society. Drawing on dozens of interviews with experts and with families who have gone tech-free, as well as Morell's own work as a policy expert, The Tech Exit shows how digital technology is anything but necessary for children to live happy, healthy, and socially full lives. The Tech Exit is essential reading for any parent who has felt stuck between an awareness of the dangers of digital technology for kids and the feeling that tech is necessary and inevitable. Clare Morell's message is simple and compelling: You and your family can be free. The life you want for your children is within reach.
Present
Present is an essential deep dive into absentee fatherhood, the obstacles and stigmas that exasperate it, the dads who want to reconnect with their children, and what it takes for families to start healing--from the co-founder of Fathers' UpLift "Dr. Daniels, one of the nation's foremost experts on fatherhood and healthy families, has written a book that will help all of us show up for the fathers in our lives. Present is a clarion call."--Michael Wear Young men of color want to be present for their children, but it takes more than a strong will to make that desire a reality. Charles C. Daniels Jr., PhD, a therapist and the co-founder and CEO of Fathers' UpLift, an organization that helps fathers reconnect with their kids, learned firsthand while serving primarily Black and Brown men that it's possible for fathers to overcome the significant challenges to establishing a relationship with their kids after weeks, months, or even years of separation. Present is an honest look at the complexities that accompany separation and the sometimes grueling effort it takes to overcome those barriers. Drawing on therapeutic practice and the experiences of thousands, Daniels describes what it takes for fathers to parent themselves, for families to practice forgiveness, and for fathers and communities to create support structures so that dads can navigate life transitions, relate better to the whole family, and heal from their own woundedness. Daniels details systemic obstacles that disadvantage fathers and societal stigmas that make healing relationships with children challenging. But he shows that they aren't the end of the story--it's still possible to reestablish familial bonds. For young men and those who support them, and for those who are interested in the struggles these men and their children face, Present is a book of challenge and of hope, filled with stories from Daniels's own life and the lives of the fathers he serves.
