Mental Health Awareness & Education

We believe that mental health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, especially for individuals living with chronic conditions like sickle cell disease.  Research shows that unmanaged mental health challenges can significantly impact physical health, making it essential to address both mind and body in a holistic manner.

​

Understanding the interplay between our physical health and mental health, we focus on educational opportunities addressing mental health to help warriors feel supported and empowered with tools to navigate life with ease.  

​​

THRIVE - our annual event that dives into the impact of mental health on individuals with sickle cell, offering insights into effective coping strategies, in addition to education sessions on mindfulness, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being.

Webinars: Thriving Through Connection

We are committed to expanding our reach and impact with the use of webinars.  As part of our ongoing mission to address health disparities and expand our reach and impact, we are hosting webinars weaving together education, advocacy, and holistic well-being. 

 

Each session is designed to be accessible and practical, equipping our community with the tools needed for optimal health.

June 20: Transforming Isolation into Strength

In honor of World Sickle Cell Day, we hosted our first inspiring and informative webinar focused on mental health in the sickle cell community, and how collective support, community engagement, and emotional resilience can transform lives.
