From Men Can Stop Rape and the Healthy Masculinity Action Project, this webinar will address different aspects of why healthy masculinity is important.
Since 2009, the conferences have offered an alternative way of thinking about community building by addressing intergenerational pain and trauma that act as barriers to healing, collaboration, leadership succession, sustainable change and community empowerment. The conference also offers an opportunity to create an environment for wellness, “compassionate accountability” and community based solutions in partnership with the community and services providers. We realize that a stronger, thriving African American community improves the health of the community and the society as a whole.
