BlackWellness Network: Empowering Our Community

BlackWellness Network (BWN) is a digital community dedicated to improving the mental, emotional, and physical health of Black and Brown individuals across communities of color. BWN is the driving force behind the annual Breaking the Stigma: African American Mental Health Symposium, the Teen Mental Health Summit,  and the Mind Health Ambassadors program.

We understand the unique challenges Black and Brown communities face and strive to create an online space where everyone has access to quality services including mental health. But racial disparities in healthcare persist..

Here’s how you can be a part of the solution:

  • Become a Member: Join our network of Black and Brown wellness professionals. Increase your visibility, gain referrals, and connect with others who share your passion.
  • Attend an Event: The 7th Annual Breaking the Stigma is May 14-15, 2026. Learn more here.
  • Spread the Word: Share BWN with friends, family, and colleagues. Help us connect those in need with the resources they deserve. Follow and share on Facebook or LinkedIn.
  • Donate to Support Our Work: Your financial contribution helps us expand our programs and reach more people of color. By donating, you’re not only supporting our organization, you’re investing in a healthier community and helping to fight racial disparities in healthcare.

Support BlackWellness Network with a financial contribution online, via PayPal, or check (payable to BlackWellness Network). Mail checks to 625 Harrison Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49007.

For questions about in-kind donations or event sponsorships call Valarie Cunningham at (269) 323-1954 or email admin@BlackWellnessNetwork.net.

With your help, we can work to eliminate racial disparities in mental health care.
