Our Initiatives
Our Initiatives
We focus on three critical health issues that disproportionately affect African American men: prostate cancer, mental health, and substance abuse. Through targeted initiatives, we aim to raise awareness, provide education, and offer direct support to help improve health outcomes and reduce disparities.
Health Education and Awareness
We believe knowledge is power. Through workshops, webinars, and social media campaigns, we provide actionable information about prostate cancer, mental health, and substance abuse. Our programs are designed to empower individuals and families with the tools they need to make informed health decisions, fostering healthier lifestyles and greater community awareness.
Community Health Screenings
Access to health screenings can save lives. That’s why we host free or low-cost community events offering prostate cancer checks, mental health evaluations, and substance abuse risk assessments. Our goal is to break barriers to healthcare, ensuring every individual receives the care they need to thrive.
Digital Outreach Initiatives
Reaching people where they are is key to our mission. Through platforms like YouTube and social media, we share engaging videos, host live Q&A sessions, and launch awareness campaigns that resonate with our audience. These digital tools help us extend our reach and impact far beyond physical boundaries.
Support for Youth Survivors
No one should face their struggles alone. Our support programs are tailored to the unique needs of youth survivors, offering them a compassionate community where they can find hope and resilience. From group therapy sessions to one-on-one mentoring, we work to empower young survivors to overcome challenges and build brighter futures.
