Join NAMI's CEO for an honest conversation centered on the mental health of Black men and youth. Featuring voices of nationally recognized artists and advocates, this session creates space for connection, reflection, and understanding.

Together, panelists will share personal insights and lived experiences while exploring how stigma, trauma, culture, and systemic barriers shape mental health journeys in the Black community. Grounded in hope and community, the conversation will highlight the strength, resilience, and healing that emerge when stories are shared and support is accessible — and why we all need to be part of this dialogue.

This plenary invites all attendees to listen, learn, and be part of a more open and compassionate dialogue around mental health.
