BLACK MEN: ALIVE AND WELL SUPPORT GROUP

The purpose of this group is to provide a safe and honest forum for Black men to come together twice a month and discuss issues related to being a Black man in America. We will check in, get current and talk about things that we may find difficult to discuss in other settings. We will experience the unique therapeutic value of one Black man helping another. We will discuss topics including but not limited to fatherhood, intimate relationships, sexuality, stereotypes, anger, communication, loving ourselves and our people, employment, education, socializing, and our own internal dialogue.

We will examine some of the issues that we have inherited that tend to hold us back rather than move us forward. We will look at self-defeating ways of thinking and behaving that interfere with our ability to accomplish our goals. We will support each other to identify and become the best version of ourselves. We will value the importance of giving and receiving honest and compassionate feedback and support.

Alliance of Community Partners

SOUL SPACE is building on an alliance of community partners with a focus on Black residents with essential needs for mental health/substance use prevention, early intervention, and criminal justice reentry services.
