Members of Black Men Speak, Inc, Men of Color and Women of Color tell their personal stories of what it is like to be an African American, Man of Color and Women of Color, with mental health and substance abuse issues living in urban communities. We do this by relaying our individual roads to recovery.
Our stories feature the success journeys of our members in Wellness and Recovery from the challenges of trauma, stigma, mental health, addiction and social issues. We believe in the importance of sharing our
stories with diverse audiences, we do not represent ourselves as speaking on behalf of the entire African American community.
Through storytelling, we present on topics such as:
● Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
● Family Issues
● Wellness and Recovery plans
● Community Violence
● Self-Esteem
● Spirituality and Mental Health
● Alternative Therapies
● The 8 Dimensions of Wellness
● Re-Entry
● Single Parenting
● Health & Wellness
