Healing Forward: Black Youth, Family, and Community Wellness Forum

Join Empowered Parents in Community (EPiC) for Healing Forward: Black Youth, Family, and Community Wellness Forum. Healing Forward is a free, community-centered gathering designed to uplift, educate, and empower Black youth and families in Durham. This dynamic forum centers culturally grounded pathways to mental wellness through connection, expression, and collective care. Families with youth ages 11–18 and local college students are invited to engage in powerful workshops, interactive breakout sessions, and an inspiring youth panel, “In Our Own Words: Youth Voices on Mental Health & Well-Being.” Explore the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), strengthen family and community connections, and equip both parents and youth with tools for emotional wellness and self-advocacy.
