First-time author Dr. Damien E. Johnson published his debut book “I Feel Like I’m Invisible” on June 8.
A native of Clio, Johnson has dedicated his career in service to others.
A licensed professional counselor by profession, one of his main focuses is the holistic treatment of children and adolescents to help them transition into healthy adults.
“I Feel Like I’m Invisible” provides a captivating view through the lens of Dominick, a young child struggling with social and self-esteem issues exacerbated by obstacles at home and school that negatively affects his behavioral, academic, and interpersonal functioning.
Johnson said the inability for Dominick to truly see himself and only to have others recognize his deficits leads to negative reinforcements and unacceptable actions.
He added his book offers parents, teachers, administrators, and society an insightful look into the life of a promising child with the hopes that careful attention is placed on the needs of children who may not fit into the traditional role of a student but who can benefit from wraparound attention to increase his or her chance at success.
Johnson said he is excited about the response and feedback.
The book has garnered a lot of attention from both children and adults due to its message and visual imagery, which has sparked conversations in different settings, including the home, churches, and schools.
Johnson is hosting book signings throughout the state and leading a “Call to Action” series using the book as a training tool for all.
