Focus on Our Health
The 3rd Annual Conference on the Health of the African Diaspora: Mental Health explores disparities in mental health among the black population and provides a forum for sharing best practices that would close the gap of inequities in mental health. Several of the speakers are activist-scholars who have worked on a range of health issues affecting Harlem.
A few presentations noteworthy for the Harlem community:
~Thoughts and Reflections on the Unlocking of America: Black Men and the Crisis of Incarceration
~The Evidence of Things Not Seen: Religion, Spirituality, and Mental Health in African American Communities
~Racism, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Health Care Disparities
