Black Minds Matter Baltimore Rising: Summoning the Village
Journal Title: Mental Health & Human Resilience International Journal (MHRIJ) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Baltimore Rising: Summoning the Village Call to Action Series was conceived and implemented July 2015 through June 2016 as a result of two Calls to Action meetings convened by the Black Mental Health Alliance immediately following the 2015 Baltimore uprisings as a result of the death of Freddie Gray. This series was an innovative and inclusive approach to community engagement and change guided by the wisdom of national thought leaders, researchers, scholars and local experts on many of the social conditions impacting one’s mental health. The involvement of people from all walks of life, ensures that the recommendations that arose from the series were shaped by and therefore relevant and valuable to the impacted communities.
