Overview

Mental health is health. And yet, it's often misunderstood, dismissed, or hidden in the shadows-especially for those society labels as ""vulnerable."" In this powerful blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and narrative truth, Brittney Jackson-therapist, social worker, and advocate-invites us to reframe how we see mental illness, trauma, and healing. Drawing from over a decade of frontline work, Jackson explores how stigma distorts our understanding, how systems fail the people who need them most, and how vulnerability is not weakness, but survival. With clarity, compassion, and courage, she unpacks common myths, introduces accessible science (like neurotransmitters, behaviorism, and social learning theory), and shares real-world reflections from the heart of her work. This book is both a guide and a challenge: to confront our biases, to show up differently for others, and to do the deep internal work that change demands. For students, clinicians, advocates, and anyone seeking to understand mental health more fully, Social Work Practice: Beneath The Hurt, The Human is a call to empathy, accountability, and action.
