Can We Talk Symposium and Joy Awards

The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation (BLHF) celebrated the hard work and sacrifice of Black Mental Health Providers during our annual Can We Talk Symposium, and Joy Awards Celebration, presented virtually on June 4th, 2022. We engaged in  compelling fireside chats and thought-provoking panel discussions with esteemed guests. Enjoyed informative vignettes on healing the Healers, Self Care Salons, and other ways to expand Joy in the lives of our frontline workers.

Through an open nomination process, we awarded Ten (10) finalists of the Joy Awards, $10,000 each along with a trip to L.A. for the BET Host Dinner and BET Awards, compliments of BET and friends of BLHF. The categories included Mental Health Providers with a special acknowledgment for Mental Health Advocates, and Integrated Health and Wellness Champions.
