October’s Collective Field Trip takes us to Conversation 2 of the NAMI x BHMVA x TWC Sharing Hope Series, led by Black clinician Mecca Williams, LCSW (@meccapresents). In this important conversation, Mecca will guide us through mental health resources, how to overcome shame and stigma, and when and how to ask for help.
Sharing Hope is a three-part community conversation series that shares sacred stories and empowers participants with support strategies and community resources. This initiative embraces cultural identity, providing a safe space for Black/African Ancestry and immigrant communities to gather, listen, and support each other on the journey to mental wellness.
The event will be held at the Black History Museum of Virginia and focuses on building confidence in asking mental health questions and seeking support for yourself or loved ones.
