How do People of Color Handle Stress

How do people of Color Handle Stress? There are an entire set of stresses that don’t 
apply to other ethnic groups. Yet, after we deal with the biological and physical
understanding of how stress affects the body, we can then began with the reality of
people of color, here in the Americas.

In fairness, I must state that the system that people of color are in, has systematically failed us,
and is set up to limit the very nature of our existence. If I am to teach people of color this is the 
first thing I must say. Now we can begin.

First, introspection is a key element at this point. Specifically, the examination or observation of one's 
own mental and emotional processes; I also suggest we use a spiritual-social model, verses a psycho-social 
model. My reasoning is it is the spiritual teaching coupled with our reality that can provide us with tools to grow. 
Spirituality is different from religion but it should be addressed to gather a proper assessment.

Next post: spiritual-social model?
