Don’t Break My Soul: Repairing Historical Harm Through Care That Sees, Affirms, and Responds

Join Black Mental Health Village for the next Health Justice Leadership Lab professional development opportunity: Don’t Break My Soul: Repairing Historical Harm Through Care That Sees, Affirms, and Responds. This virtual training will be led by Brian Issac Marshall, EdD, Founder and Chief of Data & Media Strategy at MashUP! Nashville, on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, from 6 PM to 8 PM CST on Zoom.

Participants will examine historical harms that continue to shape mental health care and trust, recognize how provider bias and institutional practices affect Melanin Queen clients, distinguish general inclusion from culturally responsive and gender-affirming care, and identify practical strategies for creating safer, more affirming mental health services.
