104 Dr. Beverly Vandiver: “Understanding Our Emotions, Understanding Ourselves.”

Elevating Wholeness with Dr. Tracee Perryman

One of our priorities in wholeness is understanding how mental challenges can lead to poor decisions. When we’re stressed, when do we look for help? What happens if we wait too long, especially for women of color? Those are questions for our guest on this episode of Elevating Wholeness. Dr. Beverly Vandiver is an eminent psychologist, a professor at Ohio State University, and edits the Journal of Black Psychology. Dr. Bev tells her own fascinating story of achievement and speaks of the shock she experienced when first meeting women who wished to harm themselves.

Elevating Wholeness serves minority women with a knowing perspective on the challenges they face. Guests provide coping strategies for career adjustment, management of life demands, and the resolution of difficult relationships.

Hosted by Dr. Tracee Perryman, Elevating Wholeness is here to help its audience know when mental health treatment is necessary and identifies alternatives to opioid use and abuse through self-medication.

Each episode features distinguished minority and faith-based messengers.

Dr. Perryman is an Amazon Best-Selling author on issues impacting women, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She is also CEO and Co-Founder of Center of Hope Family Services, Toledo, OH. Find out more at cohfs.org.
