Across generations and neighborhoods, racism has left deep imprints on the emotional and psychological well‑being of our communities. It’s not just a social issue — it’s a public health crisis that shapes how we experience stress, access care, and find healing.

Soul Survivors of Chicago is proud to lead this conversation through our upcoming webinar, Racism Shapes Mental Health: A Community Conversation. This gathering brings together mental health professionals, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience to explore how systemic racism affects mental health — and how we can respond with compassion, advocacy, and action.

The Weight of Racism on Mental Wellness

Systemic racism creates chronic stress that can lead to anxiety, depression, and trauma. It limits access to quality care, silences voices, and reinforces stigma around mental health in communities of color. These realities demand not only awareness but transformation — in how we listen, treat, and support one another.

Healing Through Dialogue

Our conversation will center on truth‑telling and collective healing. We’ll discuss strategies that empower individuals and communities to build resilience, reclaim joy, and advocate for equity. Healing begins when we name the harm and commit to changing the systems that sustain it.

Why This Matters

Mental health equity is inseparable from racial justice. When we address racism, we open pathways to healing that honor lived experience and cultural strength. This event is more than a webinar — it’s a call to action for all of us to create spaces where every person feels seen, supported, and valued.

Join us on Tuesday, May 12th from 6–7 PM CST via Zoom as we explore the profound effects of systemic racism on mental health and imagine what healing looks like together. Register at: Racism Shapes Mental Health Registration Tuesday May 12th 6-7pm CST
