BEAM: What Black Communities Should Know About Psychiatric Care

This event is hosted by Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective.

Black Healing Remixed: Regulate to Resist is a month-long virtual series, with one gathering each week throughout May. This converning gives you real non-carceral tools to support your people through schizophrenia, panic attacks, and psychiatric systems, while centering Black trans safety and disaporic solidarity. We built this month the same way we want to build our communities. With room to breathe.

The relationship between Black communities and psychiatric care is complicated. From the history of medical racism to present-day disparities in diagnosis and treatment, this conversation creates space to ask the hard questions, share valid concerns and explore what informed psychiatric care can look like. You'll leave with historical context, practical frameworks for advocating for yourself or a loved one within these systems and a greater sense of agency over your own mental health journey.

Join us on Tuesday, May 19, 2:30 PM - 4 PM EDT with our panelists:

  • Antonia Hylton

  • Kelechi Ubozoh

  • Imadé Nibokun

  • Dr. Rupi Legha
