Nationwide — Licensed therapist and author Rodrego Way, LPC-S, LCDC, known as “The Therapy Coach,” announces the release of The Invisible Burden: Mental Health and Social Realities of Black Men, a timely book that speaks directly to the unspoken pressures many Black men carry—silently, consistently, and often alone.
In The Invisible Burden, Way explores how stress, identity, relationships, grief, manhood expectations, community pressures, and systemic realities collide — impacting emotional wellness, coping behaviors, communication, and help-seeking. The book is designed for Black men, their families, faith leaders, mentors, clinicians, and community advocates who want more honest conversations and practical next steps.
Way comments, “Too many Black men are expected to perform strength while privately experiencing pressure. This book names what’s often ignored — and gives people language, perspective, and direction to move from survival to healing.”
