  1. The Color of Hope
    People of Color Mental Health Narratives
    Vanessa Hazzard & Iresha Picot

    This book gives a  voice to the silent battles faced when living with mental illness. Shame,  avoidance, fear, and other-ism are concepts associated with mental illness in  the general population yet it seems to be amplified in communities of color.  True healing can take place only when we are willing to see what lies before  us. De-stigmatizing mental illness aids in that process.

Опыт из одной области, применённый по-новому, сформировал суперкомпьютерную отрасль.
