Our newsfeed sheds light on the need for social change daily. There is a buzz about de-stigmatizing mental health care in the Black community, but it's important to keep things in context: Black folk have good reason to be skeptical. History has shown us just what it means to be Black in America. The truth is, the current system of mental health care, was not created for Black and Brown peoples and we have to be intentional about our practice as mental health providers because of this.


The brave among us deserve reprieve from double consciousness.

Healers require guidance and wisdom from healers.

We must decolonize our mind + our worldview to earnestly honor the hearts and souls of Black folks.

This two-day experience is a training intensive curated specifically for Black and Brown mental health providers in the Baltimore Metro Area. In an effort to meet the needs expressed by Black Catalysts for Change in Baltimore, this training holds space for exploring emancipatory healing in the therapy space. We consider the impact of systemic oppression in the maintenance of our profession, explore the Liberation-Focused Healing framework (established by Shawna Murray-Browne, LCSW-C) that honor the Black experience and contend with the process of re-locating ourselves in the mental health sector. Everything from the healing internalized inferiority, addressing race-based trauma and racial battle fatigue using mind-body healing to struggling with colonial impact on our concepts of gender and sexuality is discussed.

Participants will gain knowledge of gender understandings prior to colonization in various tribal traditions and peoples and consider ways to use educational and professional privilege creatively to support the liberation of our Black Transwomen, our Indigenous women and Two-Spirits. 

Traditional and Black Radical Healing practices will be shared and space provided to consider ways to incorporate your own cultural practices and those of your clients into healing work. 




 Practitioners earn 12 CEs, are served breakfast and lunch and participate in a contemplative walk through the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum.

You won't want to miss this opportunity to deepen your awareness and cultivate village! Everyone that completes the training will be featured in a directory specific to the Baltimore Metro Area.

Your Investment Supports the Work
This training is apart of the Kindred Community Healing initiative- Healing BMore Activists currently supported by The Fund for Change. All proceeds from this training will go toward sustaining healing spaces for Baltimore's Black and Brown Changemakers.

Get Featured on Our New Baltimore Directory
 Following the completion of this training, practitioners who are BALTIMORE BASED will be featured in an online directory for the Baltimore Community to access the support they deserve in healing.

Our Activists Want Practitioners that Look Like Them
The goal is to build a community of BIPOC mental health providers that are equipped with the tools and peer support to help to heal Baltimore's change-makers from a solid social justice framework. 

My Goal is to Put Community in Contact with Dope, Woke Therapists
I invite you to make an investment in yourself and your community, but we are keeping this accessible! The fee is on a Sliding scale where you choose a fee based on your financial situation, scholarships are available for those that need it.

The Cuisine of Lebanon 

One of our favorite places to eat these days is Byblos in Federal Hill. The food is always so clean and fresh. That has inspired us to spend an evening creating some classic dishes from this unique cuisine. Although a lot of the Lebanese dishes might resemble many Mediterranean dishes, their preparation is slightly different. The class will start by making the three iconic spreads - Hommous, Tabbouleh and Mouhamara along with baking fresh Pita bread to enjoy with them. We'll then prepare Sheikh El-Mehsheh - layers of Eggplant and Beef, Lahmebaajeen - a pie of beef, tomato and spices and Snoubra - an enticing mixture of Bulgar wheat, potatoes and red peppers. $79.99

Just Be Nice!
HONORING P.M. FORNI WITH THE FIRST BALTIMORE CITY CIVILITY DINNER.

A Tsunami of Benign Intent is Imminent. From Baltimore, with love.
October 16, 2019 - 6:30 PM

The intent of this Civility Dinner is to gather strangers around a meal and have a conversation around few chosen topics related to "why choosing to be civil to each other" .

 

About Pier Massimo Forni:

Pier Massimo Forni has been a Board Member of ICCM for many years while teaching Italian Literature at Hopkins. In 1997, Dr. Forni established the Johns Hopkins Civility Project — now the Civility Initiative has the news media’s first choice for comment when public displays of crude behavior beg for the thoughtful perspective of a lecturer in manners.

In his honor ICCM will lead every year, starting this October, a Civility Dinner in a Baltimore City Lot where people from every walk of life will gather, share a meal and choose civility in his name.
