Locating the Access for African descent people in addressing their MENTAL HEALTH

Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 6pm – 8pm EST

Event Details

After our January 22nd event, the second featured event will host African descent Therapists/Psychologists through an online panel discussion – Locating the (A)ccess for African descent people in addressing their MENTAL HEALTH concerns.

The purpose is to explore further ways to give more insight and education on how to serve our ACB communities to address mental health concerns.

The discussion is a 2-hour event. The panel will go for an hour, and the final hour, the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions or provide practical recommendations.

The event focuses on providing ACB community members and the broader community with the opportunity to talk about mental health issues openly and safely with mental health professionals. By creating a safe space for ACB people and folks from different ethnic backgrounds to connect with experts in the field, we strive to empower people by granting them access to tools and resources that allow them to seek help but know how to (a)ccess help. Additionally, we hope to raise awareness about the wide spectrum of mental health issues that affect the ACB community and reduce the stigmas associated with mental illness. This can include promoting positive behaviours that encourage people to seek help and inspire others to consider their emotional well-being.
