Join the Yale African American Affinity Group and National Alliance on Mental Illness for Sharing Hope – Black Families and Mental Wellness.
Since the beginning of time, each generation has influenced the next. Knowledge and experiences passed down from previous generations inform our approach to life and have a long-lasting impact on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can be difficult to change thought patterns, coping mechanisms, or behavioral practices that have been passed down for generations. And systemic, socioeconomic, and cultural challenges endured for generations can make talking about mental health feel complicated and overwhelming. For families engaging in conversations about mental health and wellness, leading with empathy and compassion is critical.
This interactive workshop will help participants engage in healthy dialogue while learning how to care for their personal mental health and that of their families.
