Overwhelmed: The Self-care Guide for College Students

By Raushannah Johnson Verwayne

"Self-care is everywhere But this book really hits the mark when it comes to supporting the needs of the collegiate student. As an educator and mother of a college student, this is a must-have reference for all. Dr. Verwayne has delivered once again."

Yolanda Blackshear, Educator

"Overwhelmed is a powerful and comprehensive resource that empowers students of color for success in college and beyond. Dr. RJ beautifully blends real-life solutions with evidence-based research to provide beacons of light in collegiate tunnels of darkness. Darkness, unfortunately, that is especially prevalent in communities of color who, for decades, have struggled with dealing with "taboo" issues. Dr. RJ shatters these generational curses with practical, constructive, and healthy solutions for young student leaders to not only heal, but hope."

Rasheed Ali Cromwell, JD - President, The Harbor Institute

This book is amazing and is exactly what college students need to balance their lives and mental well-being. I love how Dr. RJ has tapped into the major areas of concern that impact students as they matriculate through college. This guide is outstanding and makes self-care fun, easy, and manageable. I plan to use it in my work with students. Every clinician working with college students should read and recommend this book.

Vivian Barnette, Ph.D., ABPPYou did it You are the vision fulfilled; your ancestors' wildest dreams. Congratulations. Being a college student comes in many forms, not just the tradition of being dropped off on campus for the next four years by your parents. You may live at home and attend a two-year college or decide to complete your degree online. Overwhelmed is the ultimate self-care roadmap to help you navigate college life as you transition to adulthood. College presents academic, social, and mental pressures that, if left unchecked, can lead to many long-term, life interruption and physical and mental health issues. As a busy student, self-care is likely at the bottom 0f your to-do list. Overwhelmed provides information and tips on time management, stress, anxiety, depression, sexual assault, drugs, alcohol, and so much more. Refer to this guide often to give you the support you need to enjoy your college experience while gaining the knowledge and skills to become happy, healthy, thriving adults. Better yet, invite your parents to read along with you for the ultimate bonding experience. I am honored to walk alongside you on this journey of self-discovery and the best time of your life
