Join us for Pathways to Hope, a powerful and inspiring conference dedicated to fostering mental wellness and resilience within Black communities. This transformative gathering unites college students, parents, families, and community members in an impactful day of education, honest conversation, cultural connection, collective healing and mental health advocacy. This event is presented in collaboration with NAMI St. Louis and Harris-Stowe State University, bringing together expertise and community passion to create a welcoming space for attendees to learn, share, and connect.
Our dynamic breakout sessions address vital topics such as Mental Health and Suicide Prevention on College Campuses, the role of Faith & Spirituality in supporting mental health, and the unique experiences of Black Immigrant Communities. Attendees will also experience the screening of “Hush” — a compelling documentary highlighting the origins of generational trauma and access to mental health resources in Black communities — and hear heartful, personal accounts through our Ending the Silence: Young Adult Stories.
Together, we will explore pathways toward hope, healing, and empowerment. Whether you’re seeking knowledge, support, or community, this conference is for you. Because at its core, HOPE means Healing Our People Every Day — and every conversation, resource, and act of care moves us closer to that mission.
