A local partnership wants to equip neighbors who help black men improve their mental health.
This Sunday, the Mental Health Council of the Big Bend and FAMU will host a mental health training called "Leaning on our Brothers".
It's meant to help black mentors, coaches, barbers, and trainers as they build relationships with other black men.
The training will include mental wellness presentations and a panel discussion.
Member Jared Melhado adds, "The climate we're going in now, it's very important that we focus on mental health. Because without mental health we have no health."
The training is Sunday, February 23rd.
