The Be the Healing Conference addressed topics of systemic racism derived from Anti-Blackness, inter-generational and historical trauma, structural violence, mental health and COVID-19, sexism and xenophobia. This conference provided improvement strategies through an inspirational and solution-oriented lens.
Participants included youth, young adults, and a cross-sector of the community that influences the ecosystem of children and youth: educators, social workers, housing advocates, health professionals, community activists, law enforcement, and community members. This event was designed to enable participants to develop a knowledge base and critical awareness of issues specifically impacting children, youth of color, and families and the skills set to address them. See below for information on past conferences and ripple effect of community activities.
