"If you never heal from what hurt you, 

You’ll bleed on people that didn’t cut you!" - Unknown

We invite you to the 15th Annual Community Empowerment Through Black Men Healing Conference held on June 22 & 23, 2023, at Metropolitan State University. On June 25th, 2009, we brought together professionals, community practitioners, men and women, and anyone interested to consider the question, "Could a focus on black men's healing be a way to empower the community?" In this 15th year, we will reexamine that question and explore practical trauma-informed, culture-sensitive outcome-driven current and future approaches that can lead to community empowerment, safety, and healing.

 

The conference is open to all interested in the topic.

Why attend?

We realize that a stronger, thriving African American community improves the health of the community and the society as a whole.
