Additional information and conference updates are available atwww.brothershealing.com. Thank YouThe History of the conference:When discussing the ills and disparities within the Black community, such issues as violence,drugs, poverty, and emotional, physical, and spiritual health are often discussed. Whensystematic concerns aren’t being questioned as barriers, the personal accountability of men isbrought to the forefront. Typically, Black men’s trauma is not discussed or addressed.When Black men suffer (directly or indirectly), they pass their trauma on to the women andchildren in their lives; thus, the cycle of pain continues, and the community suffers tenfold.In response to this awareness, in 2009, the conference called “Groundbreaking andVisionary” began with a mission to offer alternative ways of thinking about community building"from the inside out," not just "the outside in" by addressing the history of trauma, which can bebarriers to healing. Also, it provided an opportunity to bring national and local educators andcommunity practitioners together for meaningful community engagement to discuss andintroduce practical, culturally sensitive trauma-informed initiatives leading to the improvedhealth and wellness of Black men and their families, resulting in a celebration and uplift of thecommunity.“This was a phenomenal conference! Well-organized, awesome speakers (that told thetruth). This was one of the best conferences that I have ever attended. We need moretrainings like this.” Speaking for many conference attendees.More information on the Conference can be found at www.brothershealing.com.
