A Conversation with The Black Community: Breaking the Stigma & Healing the Trama

Liacouras Center Fox Gittis Room 1776 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia, United States

Stress, depression and grief, is on the increase during the holiday season, especially among people in African Diaspora communities, who are already affected by generational trauma. People need someone to talk to, but don’t know where to turn. That’s why the 988 African Diaspora Campaign, in partnership with State Sen. Sharif Street, is sponsoring a “Conversation with the Black Community: Breaking the Stigma & Healing the Trauma,” Saturday, Dec. 9 from 10:00AM to 1:00PM at the Temple Liacouras Center, 1776 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia. This event is the culmination of the campaign that was launched in May to promote awareness and use of the federal 988 Mental Health Lifeline, and access to treatment for African Diaspora (African, African American, Caribbean and Afro-Latino) communities in the Philadelphia Region.

The event includes a community discussion including Q & A with Black therapists, moderated by NAACP Philadelphia Branch President Catherine Hicks, on how to begin healing. The discussion will be followed by a healing circle for those who want to participate. People will also be able to network with providers about their services.
