Hello All !!

This past Tuesday, September 8th, was National Su***de Prevention Day, and we had the honor of being able to connect with other organizations and receive resources at the LASPN Summit.🫂

This event was able to showcase information that assisted people with identifying stressors that could trigger suicidal tendencies and ideation.There were live testimonies from transitional age youth, and slideshow presentations on different forms of emotional expression and regulation.☀️

Services such as therapy dogs, sound baths, wellness rooms, and art therapy, were available for all attendees. (Peep DaVinci the therapy dog hard at work on slide 5!!)🐾

Thank you Los Angeles Su***de Prevention Network and L.A. County Mental Health for this amazing opportunity !

Hello African Coalition Community!

On August 30th, African Coalition partnered with poets, legal professionals, and medical professionals in the Ethiopian and Eritrean Communities to discuss breaking the stigma in regard to mental health.

We presented some statistics and lived experiences for the audience in both English and Amharic in order to spread awareness to the parents and caregivers. To remind them that listening to understand is the first step to breaking stigma within their community.🫂

We were very honored to be there with all our other partners, and very grateful to have witnessed the work of amazing poets and performers.

Please enjoy a snippet of the English portion of our presentation! 🙏🏽

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 💜
