Resources

Welcome to our online resources, including free downloads. Here you will find educational tools created with culturally and racially marginalised communities in mind — whether that's a worksheet to help you explore your identity, set goals, how-to guides, meditation audios or journalling prompts. We are building this overtime.

This space is for everyone. For those from culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds seeking resources that finally feel like they were made for you and for mental health professionals looking for culturally attuned tools to use with clients or in their own practice. Have a look below.

Finding the right support starts with feeling like someone understands where you're coming from. This next section is a small offering from us to you — a collection of books, directories and tools that we at The Middle Bridge Project have found meaningful, useful or worth passing on to the communities we work with.

We hope something here meets you where you are.

Books have a quiet way of making us feel less alone. Some titles below are ones we return to, recommend in our programs, and share with the people we work with. They span intergenerational trauma, somatic healing, anti-oppressive frameworks, self-compassion and the lived experience of diaspora and BIPOC communities:

- My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem
  A powerful somatic look at how racial trauma is held in the body across generations, and what it means to heal not just individually, but collectively.
- Break the Cycle by Dr. Mariel Buqué
  A clinically grounded, culturally informed guide to understanding intergenerational trauma and building the tools to heal it for yourself and those who come after you.
- The Wake Up by Michelle MiJung Kim
  A practical, intersectionally grounded guide to moving from awareness to action on race and systemic oppression. Accessible, direct, and built for those ready to do the work.
- Decolonizing the Body by Kelsey Blackwell
  Written by a woman of colour for women of colour, this book offers somatic practices to help readers recognise and release the embodied impacts of systemic oppression — and reconnect with their own inherent worth and wisdom.
- The Joy of Saying No by Natalie Lue
  A warm, honest look at people-pleasing, boundaries, and what it really means to start showing up for yourself.
- Welcome Home by Dr. Bee Lim
