About this event

Black + Mental Health + Matters is a 1.5-hour virtual workshop that is designed to be a place of refuge for Black individuals. Knowing that Black humans in North America face unique and specific barriers to mental wellness, this workshop provides a place for them to be seen and heard, both collectively and individually. Equipping participants with tools to help them heal and thrive, Black + Mental Health + Matters uses creative practices to center and uplift.

While this event centers Black students, all campus community members who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) are invited to attend. However, comments or participation from allies that pull focus away from Black mental health will be respectfully redirected.

One has the scene of a Black Lives Matter protest displayed on her torso, and the other has a woman in a gele among plants on hers. The event title "Black + Mental Health + Matters" is in block text underneath logos for Art With Impact.]
