My Brother’s Keeper Cares is set to host its fourth annual “Discovering Mental Wealth” event on September 13 at The Discovery Center in Fairmount Park. This initiative aims to raise awareness about mental health issues within Black communities, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being and providing resources for those in need.

The event will feature a variety of activities, including workshops, panel discussions, and resource booths that focus on mental health education and support. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with mental health professionals and community leaders who are dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by Black individuals regarding mental health.

Organizers hope that this event will not only provide valuable information but also foster a sense of community and belonging among participants. By breaking down stigmas and encouraging open conversations about mental health, My Brother’s Keeper Cares aims to empower individuals to prioritize their mental wellness and seek help when necessary.
