Reclaiming Wellness

Annual Behavioral health Conference & Resource Fair

Every July during BIPOC mental health awareness month we convene in honor of promoting health equity by addressing mental health inequities and disparities, as a way to improve mental health outcomes for people of color.

We invite everyone who works in behavioral health to include clinicians, medical providers, educators, administrators, students, those working in criminal justice, and community members vested in mental health services!
