Forces that harm Black and Brown people are widespread. Yet, there are resources built from the strengths of Black and Brown people that can nurture our healing. These resources include storytelling, the arts, institutional culture building, raising our consciousness, creating policies and practices that care for the marginalized, and rituals. However, too often, people live and work in isolation and don’t have the collective power necessary to nurture our healing. This event utilizes a community organizing approach and the arts to nurture lifegiving community and healing for Black and Brown people. Artists, scholars, mental health professionals, clergy, youth, faith communities, grassroots communities, and community organizers will gather to build caring community. Presenters will share resources for nurturing healing for Black and Brown people from decolonial and postcolonial perspectives. Participants can gain CEUs for attending the Friday portion of the event. We will be organizing ourselves to care deeply for Black and Brown people. by @therapistholley

We're excited to welcome Tahjae Handy, MA, NCC to our team as a psychotherapists!

"Therapy, to me, is much more than just listening to a client discuss their issues. I believe the true meaning of therapy is creating an effective, working relationship where we are constantly striving towards being the very best version of ourselves. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and need assistance with this, and that is what I am here for. Everyone has the right to live a full and meaningful life, and I am here to assist you wherever you may be on your journey." - Tahjae H.

How did we get here in Illinois? Cannabis made its introduction in Illinois with the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program and then decriminalized Cannabis on January 1, 2020 becoming the 11th state to legalize recreational Cannabis for adult use. Join a conversation with Marieth "Ma" Mitchell of Wakanna For Life, Chaka Holley, MDiv , LCSW of A New Day Wellness Center and Dr. Melvin Graves of National Youth Advocate Program moderated by Dr. Obari A. Cartman of the Chicago Association of Black Psychologists. The panel will begin the series discussion with a look at the racial disparities of the newest agricultural industry in Illinois and how it has impacted Black people and People of Color.

Centered on education of the audience on “self-medication” of Cannabis, informed consumerism and as Cannabis Medical Patients, developmental impact, complexities encountered in the industry and some insight on the other 150 cultivars of cannabinoids from the plant, Cannabis Industry standards local, nationwide and international.

This is a virtual event that will be shown from a ZOOM platform and other social media pages to help get the discussion out to the community. Registration to this event is considered consent to your image and name being used.
