Why This Conference Matters
The 6th Annual Black Mental Wellness Conference returns with the powerful theme: Reclaiming Our Power and Protecting Our Peace. This year’s experience centers the healing of the Black community by honoring our past, acknowledging the present, and envisioning a liberated future for mental wellness.
Since 2020, our conference has brought together over 1,000 attendees—from psychologists and educators to advocates, families, and allies—who are committed to transformative change.
This is more than a professional gathering. It’s a celebration of Black excellence, a space for honest conversation, and a sacred moment to restore, recharge, and reclaim.
