In My Mind LGBTQIA+ Black and Peoples of Color Mental Health Conference
This year’s In My Mind (IMM24) Conference, with the title, “Moving To Thriving and Belonging” with the theme, Migrant Communities’ Healing Journeys, will be held on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12 in partnership with and at The New School, NYC. The planning team’s collective efforts for this one-and-a-half-day conference will focus on LGBTQIA+ Black and People of Color migrants, asylum seekers and refugees’ experiences and reasons for leaving their countries of origin – for some, trauma, mental health challenges and even violence, but somehow finding hope, strength, support, and community throughout their journey. The collective strengths and wisdom from clinicians, consumers, academics, and advocates will examine the many aspects of overcoming and creating.
