The Black History Month Black Health Forum (TBHF) aims to help preserve and promote the need for physical and mental health preservation in communities of color. TBHF recognizes that communities of color lead in all categories of chronic illnesses, and now there is a clarion call to address the mental health disparities in our communities. TBHF is laser-focused and concerned with preserving and promoting physical and mental health in our communities with organized social action. TBHF sees the need to have yearly forums; to give our community the necessary information and tools to make the required lifestyle changes to live a life of health and wellness. We will offer information booths, Books and serve healthy food alternatives. The forums will be categorized into three topics: Topics for the health forum are: • Men's Health • Women's Health • Family Health/ Mental Health Each panel will consist of local and national Medical Professionals, Health and Wellness Practitioners, and Life Coaches. Each panel discussion will be 45-60 min at max, with a 15 min break to allow participants to taste some of the provided healthy snacks, network with each other, or use the restroom. The goal is to give participants a broad spectrum of information on Black health and wellness. The TBHF goal is to host this forum every year until chronic illness and health disparities are irradicated from communities of color in Westchester County.
