AKOMA
The youth coaching program
Traumatic experiences that lead to diminishing mental health in the Black community often stems from childhood experiences. Black youth are often exposed to more violence, poverty, and racial injustices than other kids their age. What currently isn’t being addressed is the toll these experiences have on the younger generation as they continue to grow older. The youth coaching program will provide a space for Black youth to express their thoughts and frustrations in a group setting. Various activities and sessions will take place around meditation, emotional expression, and journal. The goal will be to equip youth at a younger age to think about the importance of their mental health and how current experiences can impact their future.
Activities:
Group coaching sessions
Meditation sessions
Classroom mental health workshops
ABAN
Support group and Group Therapy
The experience of being Black in America varies tremendously; there are shared cultural factors like values, family connections, spirituality music, or food that play a role in defining mental health and supporting well-being, resiliency, and healing.
Another part of this shared experience is facing racism, discrimination, and inequity that can significantly affect a person’s mental health. Being treated or perceived as “less than” because of your skin color can be stressful and even traumatizing.
Aban provides an accessible virtual wellness space where people will be able to talk, share their experiences, and stand strong to heal through the community.
