Exploring The Link Between Black Racial Identity And Mental Health

Shanika Lavi Wilson

This literature review examines the relationship between Black racial identity and mental health. In this article the racial identity models of Cross, Helms, and Sellers are used to assess the effects racial identity has on the mental health of African Americans. It is suggested that an unhealthy racial identity is related to psychological distress; therefore, a healthy racial identity is linked to psychological wellbeing.
