Description
In his debut memoir, “Born Into Crisis” (Burning Soul Press, May 2, 2023), pastor and community organizer Kenneth Nixon Jr. discusses the necessary steps to healing and breaking free from the cycles of family traumas. Drawing from his own experience with dysfunctional family dynamics, Kenneth uses his story to call attention to the need for systemic change in our mental health system.
The American mental health system is in crisis, and those affected by its shortcomings are drowning without the tools and resources they deserve and need to thrive. In “Born Into Crisis,” Kenneth shares his story of growing up with a mother with severe mental illness and a family stuck in an enduring cycle of trauma. He knows firsthand the impact trauma can have on a person's life. Kenneth not only takes you on a powerful journey through his stories, he provides cogent and practical strategies for creating lasting change in our mental health system. “Born Into Crisis” is more than just a story of resiliency. It's also a call to action.

A highly recommended book. The story of mental illness, family and children was very special to me. The relationship between a caregiver and the mother of a mentally ill person was so touching, inspiring and the story touched so strongly on the reality of life.
An important element of this story was how mental health sufferers went through their daily lives not only in terms of treatment but also a personal and holistic approach in order to touch and entered to feel how they struggle to achieve happiness in their lives.
