African American Male Wellness Walk/Run

National African American Male Wellness Walk

  • Barbershop Talk This aims to combat mental health awareness in an environment where men are most comfortable discussing their personal challenges.  The initiative brings barbers and mental wellness professionals together to address the needs of men who come to the barbershop.  It helps barbers be the connectors to community resources.
  • Cooking with Dad This project brings fathers and children together to learn about healthy eating habits.  Local chefs provide hands-on demonstrations on making proper food choices and cooking preparation.  This initiative provides a great point of reference for kids who are engaging with their fathers.
  • Financial Wellness  The program emphasizes the importance of removing the stigma and taboo that are often associated with conversations about money and economic stability.
