“Supporting healthy black families workgroup supporting healthy black families (shbf) is an umbrella of workgroups rooted in education that are developed and informed in response to requests from black community members. We employ a comprehensive, strength-based 90 -day model to empower black people to achieve breakthroughs in their lives and health. Our shbf workgroups facilitate critical reflection and evaluation of behaviors to determine if those habits are valuable and help participants replace maladaptive behaviors and practices with those that can lead to empowerment and self-efficacy. Another critical goal of our workgroups is to provide economic empowerment and the skills and tools for community members to be present for themselves, their families, and their communities. Our programming is unique in that we directly and thoroughly unpack the pain and suffering created by racism with the facilitation of trainers who share lived experiences with participants. Trained facilitators and participants are from the same communities, and this collaborative group of similar lived experiences creates connection and community. Connecting a joint group and healing gives community members a sense of social cohesion and unity, fostering trust and resilience among black families.

Supporting healthy youth the program combines transformative education and personal and leadership development to provide economic empowerment and the skills and tools for youth to be present for themselves, their families, and their communities. We recognize that youth surviving poverty not only experience worse health but also tend to have less access to the social determinants or conditions that support health and well-being, i.e., healthy food, safe and equitable housing, appropriate education, safe neighborhoods, and freedom from racism and other forms of discrimination. We offer various support services, including advocacy, housing support, small business support, psycho- therapy, and miscellaneous financial support.
