The COVID pandemic highlighted the pre-existing disparities related to mental health access, treatment, and outcomes. Since 2020, it has been a time of loss, grief, collective pain, and significant life changes for so many of us and few people are talking about the mental toll of these experiences, particularly in the Black community. 

To address this we launched the Black Mental Wellness ® Conference in 2020. This conference is dedicated to uplifting the Black community and continues to emphasize the importance of naming our range of feelings, while remaining empowered to heal during these emotionally challenging times.​ This is a conference for anyone who is invested in Black mental health and wellness.

​

Now in our 6th year, we are excited to announce, Reclaiming Our Power and Protecting Our Peace. This year's conference will center healing within the Black community by honoring our past, recognizing where we are in the present, and envisioning a future of mental health that prioritizes our wellness and protects our peace. ​​​​​​​​
