Black Men And The Mental Health Journey
Feb 9 | 3-4 p.m. EST

Strong. Rational. Self-Sufficient. Many see these as measures of masculinity, especially in the Black community. In excess, though, these positive traits can take a serious toll on mental health. Black men face unique cultural and identity-related challenges that can make getting help feel especially daunting. This Gathering offers a space to explore how cultural messages impact mental health, and to demystify—and destigmatize—seeking mental health support. Sign up by logging into your Lyra account
