There will be a highlight of what to expect at the BIOPIC Mental Health Summit on July 13, 2024 and Q&A about how you can support breaking the stigma around BIOPIC Mental Health.

Each July, we honor the legacy of author, advocate, and trailblazer Bebe Moore Campbell by recognizing Bebe Moore Campbell National BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month. BIPOC communities are rooted in collectivist cultures, which recognize that each person’s health and wellness is deeply interconnected with their communities. When one person seeks to take care of their mental health, it has an impact on the wellness of the community at large. Let’s make a bigger impact together! Join us Monday evenings in July for the National and Local featured events where we spotlight BIPOC Mental Health Month Hosted the AAEA Mind Your Business Workshop Series featuring Culture, Community, and Connection. Format: National Speakers will be presenting and interacting with local based groups via Zoom for about 45 minutes discussing the topic of the day. There will be a community event featured where BIPOC community members will be able to locate service providers and engage in actively becoming part of the solution!
