Health & Healing Initiatives  

In 2020, we conducted a  nationwide survey on men's health (mental, physical, emotional). It revealed an overwhelming need for increase outreach and engagement regarding the various challenges with major health including, depression, anxiety, and the lack of funding for ongoing medications. It is our goal is to provide transformational leadership from the inside out. For the first time we are focusing on self -preservation and healing  for our community leaders.  MMHE's health and healing  initiatives aims to improve health outcomes of  black males by promoting and supporting ongoing wellness education, therapy and physical activity and medication management. 

​

MMHE has volunteer medical experts providing offering in-kind telehealth support for Black Males across the country in prioritizing health and wellness. These strategies are designed to ensure that leaders in the field of black male achievement have the  proper tools and resources to facilitate and sustain their personal and health and healing, thus having a greater impact on the orgaztions's overall mission and impact. 

​

We provide support by:

​

• Distributing blood pressure monitors in local barbershops.

• Hosting and facilitating semi-annual wellness retreats that offer mental health group therapy, journaling, and nature exploration.
