Join us for an open dialogue about the pressing mental health challenges facing Black youth in Portland. This event aims to create a safe and welcoming space for participants to engage in meaningful conversations about the unique experiences and struggles that Black young people encounter in our community.

We will explore various factors that contribute to mental health issues, including systemic racism, socioeconomic disparities, and cultural stigmas surrounding mental health. Through this collaborative discussion, we hope to raise awareness, share personal stories, and identify resources that can support the mental well-being of Black youth.

Together, we can foster understanding, build resilience, and advocate for necessary changes within our community to ensure that all young people have access to the mental health support they need to thrive. Your voice matters, and we encourage everyone to contribute to this vital conversation.
