Abstract
Healing Noose Scars is grounded in resiliency theory, ecological restructuring, mindfulness, collectivistic principles and Afrocentric psychological paradigms (Collective Coping, Racism Trauma) and tools (Africultural Coping Systems Inventory, Racism-Related Coping Scale). Strategies that will enhance Black male relationships across the diaspora to promote a more cohesive and connected view of the Black male experience as it develops inside of the Euronormative narrative are discussed. Recommendations are made on teacher training, socio-emotional learning development, anti-bias curriculum implementation, faith-based interventions, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) support, recruitment and retention of Black male educators and the addition of culturally empathic services at predominantly White institutions (PWIs).
