Abstract Details

2024, Ph.D., Antioch University, Antioch Seattle: Counselor Education & Supervision.
The aim of this study is to better understand, from the perspective of Critical Race Theory, the experiences of adolescent males who are Black and living in the United States and to examine how they build resilience and survival skills. Participants were between the ages of 18 and 26 and asked to recall adolescent experiences as part of a semi-structured interview with a Black Storytelling approach. There were six participants and data were analyzed using thematic analysis. According to the results, there were seven themes: (1) Policing In the United States of America Comes in Many Forms, (2) Recognizing Racism and that It’s Real, (3) How You See Me: I Was Born This Way, (4) Perceptions About Racism, (5) Finding Ways to Cope, (6) Sharing Stories from Generation to Generation, and (7) Perceptions About Mental Health Treatment. The subthemes and connections to literature and the professional counseling field are also considered. This dissertation is available in open access at AURA (https://aura.antioch.edu) and OhioLINK ETD Center (https://etd.ohiolink.edu).
