Youth Development Programs
Character Development Sessions.
Our organization hosts character development sessions with adolescents and young adults from various BIPOC High Schools and HBCUs, discussing Mental Health. The sessions aim to address the current stigma surrounding mental health among black adolescents, while creating a safe space for open dialogue. Students have the opportunity to learn best practices for navigating productive coping strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, peer group support, mindfulness, therapy and more!
Hosting such discussions and events help to raise awareness around mental health resources, prevent fear of seeking help in times of need, and increase overall understanding of the complex nature of what it means to be human, leading to more empathetic and supportive communities.
