Happy July!

8th Black Mental Health Symposium

September 28-29

A Hybrid Experience, Jacksonville, FL

Learn. Lead. Liberate

I am heartbroken to report that Dr. Faith Troupe, one of the dopest LMFTs, has passed away. Faith was a Black Mental Health Symposium planning committee member since 2017 and carried the event like it was her own. She was the troubleshooter, a voice of reason, my wing-woman. May she rest in power. I would like to establish a scholarship in her honor. Any donation you make will go toward the scholarship. Thank you!
