Black Mental Wellness Workshops & Program
July 15, 2026
Helping professionals dedicate their lives to supporting others, yet often neglect their own mental, emotional, and physical well-being. From clinicians and educators to healthcare workers, social workers, caregivers, and community advocates, the constant demands of caring for others can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, and a diminished sense of purpose.
This interactive panel will explore the unique challenges faced by helping professionals and caregivers, particularly within Black communities where cultural expectations, systemic inequities, and the pressure to remain strong often create additional barriers to self-care and healing. Panelists will share practical strategies for recognizing early signs of burnout, establishing healthy boundaries, fostering resilience, and creating sustainable practices that support long-term well-being.
Participants will leave with evidence-informed tools and culturally responsive perspectives to help them care for themselves with the same compassion they offer to others, allowing them to continue serving their communities without sacrificing their own health.
Learning objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Identify common signs and contributing factors of burnout, compassion fatigue, and chronic stress among caregivers and helping professionals.
-
Describe how cultural expectations, systemic stressors, and workplace demands can influence mental wellness, particularly within Black communities.

Apply practical strategies for establishing healthy boundaries, building resilience, and integrating sustainable self-care into daily professional and personal routines.
