Hello Everyone🥳

This past Saturday, African Coalition hosted an expressive painting workshop/bonfire at Dockweiler Beach to allow for our youth to discuss their feelings : free of judgement and stigma.☀️

Because of unforeseen circumstances with entry to the beach, some of our youth were unable to enter. But God had other things in mind. Our team needed to access a bonfire pit, and Patrena of Recovery In Session was willing to share. 🫂

Our teams were able to combine, share resources, and cooking responsibilities 🌭🍔. Additionally, they had plenty of youth (and adults) that wanted to participate in our expressive painting activity. We had so many talented individuals bring their feelings to life on canvas, and we are so grateful to them for opening up to us. Additionally, some of our youth were able to make it in time for some yummy food and painting fun !🥳

Thank you again to Patrena, Susie, Cesar, and everyone on behalf of Recovery In Session. It was such an honor to join up with you all, and we are honored to have experienced community support in action with you 🙏🏽

We hope to paint some more with you all soon🥳🫂.

Good morning everyone☀️

As a follow-up to our post yesterday, we wanted to share a little more about Bebe Moore Campbell and her significance to establishing Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.

Bebe Moore Campbell was the author of 3 New York Times Bestsellers :

Brothers and Sisters
Singing in the Comeback Choir
What You Owe Me

She has won the NAACP Image Award for Literature, and received the New York Times Book of the Year Award for her novel : Your Blues Ain’t Like Mine.

Her works of fiction often relayed the harmful ways racism would impact individuals and their relationships. Her other works focused on themes of mental illness, and how it impacts family dynamics.

Bebe Moore Campbell was a member of National Alliance for the Mentally Ill NAMI California, and was a founding member for their Inglewood branch.

We are very grateful for her work, honor her values, and hope to continue her legacy.

“The important thing is not to point a finger at flaws but attempt to correct them!”

Happy National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month !! 🤎🖤

This month is recognized as a time to hold space for our minority community members, established in 2008 to honor the tireless advocacy of Bebe Moore Campbell. Campbell was a passionate mental health advocate for underrepresented communities, in addition to being an acclaimed author and journalist.

Racial and ethnic minority groups face obstacles that hinder them from having successful and accessible mental health journeys. Systemic disparities, cultural stigma, culturally unresponsive care, and language barriers make it that much more difficult to receive proper care.

As the month comes to a close, take the time to prioritize your wellbeing. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. With all the stressor around us, finding and keeping our peace of mind is essential to our mental health.

Support your fellow minority community members (and yourself) !! Hold space for your feelings and allow yourself to feel them as well😊

Hello everyone! We wish all of you a blessed Monday, and hope the start of your week has been peaceful. ☮️

This past Saturday, July 11th, The African Coalition Team celebrated World Refugee Day. On that day, we honored the strength, courage, and resiliency that individuals embrace despite being forced to flee their homes. Many refugees are forced to seek asylum elsewhere because of conflict, violence, persecution, and safety.

These strong individuals are deserving of recognition and support, especially as we work towards social inclusion and continue to advocate for solutions to their struggles. 🫂

African Coalition partnered with the Refugee Forum of Los Angeles in addition to a number of organizations in order to provide services free of charge for all attendees.😊

Please enjoy this post that highlights the beautiful cultures represented at this fair, and that exist among us in our communities 💜

Hello everyone!!

As you noticed, we did not post anything the final two days of National Therapeutic Recreation Week.

That’s because we were practicing the final form of recreation we are sharing with you : Rest. 🧘🏾‍♀️

Rest comes in many forms. Sleeping, spending time offline, being a nature, and sometimes just simply existing. With a life that sometimes can be so hustle and bustle, it’s good to take a moment to just stop. Just exist. Feel the breath enter your nostrils and exit your mouth. 😮‍💨

This post ends our sharing of information for National Therapeutic Recreation Week. Thank you all for tuning in and we appreciate your time.

Hello All !!! Welcome to Day 5 of National Therapeutic Recreation Week !!🎊🎊🎊🎊

Today we highlight the recreational activity of cooking. Cooking is often seen as a daily necessity, but it can also be done to explore cultures and for personal enjoyment.👩🏾‍🍳

Cooking new (or familiar) dishes boosts our creativity and relaxation, especially when we aren’t doing it for basic survival. It builds skills such as knife use🍴, baking🧁, and global cuisine knowledge🌍. It boosts social connection by providing an opportunity to bond with friends and family when cooking together or hosting them to try your dish !😊

We encourage you to try making a new dish, or maybe the next time you crave your favorite restaurant, try making the at-home version instead! You’ll be surprised by how relaxing and rewarding the experience will be😊

Happy cooking 🍛🍲🌮🥘🥩🍝🍜🧆🍚🥂

💚🧡🤎

Happy Day 4 of National Therapeutic Recreation Week !🎊

The form of recreation we are highlighting today is Nature, or Eco Therapy🌿. When we think of recreational activities, think of things that require you to be outside and touch grass (literally). Put your feet in running water💦, engage in puppy yoga🐶, maybe even garden and plant a new succulent in your house🪴

All of these things connect out to nature more, and help us ground ourself to the present moment. Being in nature calms our body and mind, reducing stress and serving as emotional release.

If you’re able to today, step outside and stand barefoot on the grass. Listen to the natural birdsong around us, I challenge you to leave the headphones at home. Sit and meditate or pray on your front porch or at the nearby park. I promise you the peace you feel after is indescribable😊

Enjoy your day, and stay tuned for the last three days of National Therapeutic Recreation Week 🎊🎊🎊

💚🧡🤎

Welcome to Day 3 of National Therapeutic Recreation Week

🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

Today we highlight : Social/Group Activities🫂

Although most of the recreational outlets we have shared so far are solo activities, there is so much benefit in executing them with your community 😊

Spending time with your chosen community (friends, family, coworkers, etc) while engaging in different forms of therapy reduce feelings of isolation and builds self confidence😎

You allow yourself to hear different perspectives, receive empathy and recognition, and eases you into acceptance💜

Talk to a therapist🗣️, grab matcha with your friends🍵, go for a walk with your parents👣, or even color some books with your younger siblings/relatives.

We have the power to heal ourselves and to heal other people. Let’s practice being open to letting others heal us in return😊

Go hug some people !! 💚🧡🤎

Hello all !! Today is Day 2 of Therapeutic Recreation Week☺️

For today, our focus is Movement and Exercise. Moving our bodies helps ease our minds when we’re feeling anxious, boosts our energy levels, builds physical strength, and serves as emotional release.

Whether you’re going for a run or a walk, lifting weights, biking, roller blading, swimming, or playing tennis, these are all ways to keep your body regulated and your mind healthy. 😎

It whatever way your body feels inclined to move, let it do what makes it feels good. 🗣️ Ground yourself, energize your body and mind, and strengthen your body to increase healthy emotional flow. 💛

Day 2 : National Therapeutic Recreation Week💚🧡🤎
