Description
Healing Starts Within. Transform Your Pain into Purpose.
In 10 Steps to Healing the Wounded Healer, Andre “AT” Mitchell-Mann and Lakeesha Eure, LCSW, offer a powerful guide for frontline workers, community leaders, and violence prevention specialists. As two distinguished change-makers—Mitchell as New York City’s first Gun Violence Prevention Czar and Eure as Deputy Mayor of Public Safety for the City of Newark, NJ—they draw from personal experiences, professional insights, and decades of leadership to provide a roadmap for emotional healing and self-restoration.
This book speaks directly to those who dedicate their lives to helping others while silently bearing the weight of their own trauma. Through practical tools, reflective exercises, and real-life stories, Mitchell and Eure show how leaders on the frontlines can heal from the inside out and continue to serve with renewed purpose and strength.
Inside, you will discover:
• How to Acknowledge Trauma: Recognize hidden wounds that affect your well-being and work.
• Purpose-Driven Healing: Reconnect with your “why” to reignite your passion for service.
• Setting Boundaries for Self-Preservation: Learn the importance of saying no without guilt.
• Healing in Community: Explore the power of peer support and healing circles.
• Leadership as a Path to Wellness: Lead with empathy, authenticity, and resilience.
• Continuous Healing Practices: Embrace healing as a lifelong journey.
Both authors bring deep expertise and lived experience to this essential guide. Mitchell, the Founder and CEO of Man Up! Inc. USA, has transformed lives through violence intervention and community empowerment. His leadership of the NYC Crisis Management System and over 30 years of public service reflect his extraordinary journey from personal hardship to becoming a key strategist in violence reduction.
Eure, a trailblazer in trauma-informed care and former leader of Newark’s Office of Violence Prevention and Trauma Recovery Services, has spent over two decades addressing the intersection of public safety and community wellness. Her work continues to inspire through activism, public service, and advocacy for survivors of violence and trauma.
If you are a wounded healer, this book is your guide to reclaiming your strength, renewing your spirit, and creating lasting change—from the inside out.
