Black Mental Health Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of the impacts of anti-Black racism on Black communities, families and individuals. This year, the celebration highlights the power of joy as a transformative tool in overcoming the impacts of anti-Black racism and promoting Black mental wellness.
The City has partnered with community organizations to lead the initiative and animate spaces across Toronto from March 3 to 9. Find more information on the City’s Black Mental Health Week webpage.
Events this year include a youth art exhibit, thought-provoking film screening, powerful panel discussion and an afternoon of comedy and cultural healing. All events are free, but registration is required. Visit blackmentalhealthweek.ca for event details and registration.
The City offers free, confidential, 24 hours 7 days a week easy access to culturally-appropriate mental health supports and services. Residents aged 16 and older can access the Toronto Community Crisis Service by calling 211. Find more information on the City’s Toronto Community Crisis Service webpage.
