Racial Trauma and Self-Care

(Available only for iPhone and iPad).
"The Safe Place" Is a Minority Mental Health App geared towards the Black Community. African Americans are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the rest of the general population. However, many black people still do not wish to seek professional help for their mental illnesses.
The Purpose of the "Safe Place" is to bring more awareness, education, and hope to this serious issue. Not only can the black community benefit from this app, but also mental health professionals, friends, and family, of ALL colors can be better educated on this issue and do a service by directing their black friends, co workers, etc. to the app."

This free app (available in both the Apple Store and Google Play) encourages meditation and sleep.

"Processing requires stillness and awareness, which in turn restores the energy we need to keep doing the work. One way of finding this awareness is breathwork, a powerful meditation technique with roots in pranayama and Buddhist meditation. Breathwork uses sustained breathing to facilitate self-exploration."
