​Rise Up. Reimagine. Recharge. Reclaim.

This community capacity-building initiative promotes mental health and wellness among Black young adults 17-25 through culturally infused mental health convenings, workshops, and safe spaces. The aim is not only to create supportive environments but to improve five critical measures of mental and emotional wellness that serve as barriers against the negative impacts of adverse experiences associated with the following: 

1. Increased identification of mental health symptoms and risk factors that lead to severe mental health disparities exacerbated by school failure and drop-out
2. Prevention of early onset and reduction of mental health illness severity associated with prolonged suffering for transition and Black young adults 17-25
3. Reduced mental health stigma
4. Increased access and utilization of mental health services and care, primarily to address POST-COVID STRESS DISORDER (prolonged anxiety, fear, repressed grief)
5. Reduction in social isolation and pressure among young Black youth in college settings that contributes to declining health and harmful behavior

If you identify as a Black young adult, 17-25 years old, in the Sacramento area, we are looking to connect with you! Sign up to stay up-to-date on the upcoming Gen-Z Speaks Wellness events and workshops.
