Changing the way
mental health is shaped and shared in Black and Hispanic communities
SoundMinds Mental Health Awareness & Solutions Conference brings mental health professionals, advocates and people with lived experiences together for transparent conversations, insightful information and valuable resources. Our mission is to deepen our understanding, empathy and support for people affected by diagnosed mental illnesses and mental health challenges within Black and Hispanic communities. We address a broad spectrum of critical topics, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, caregiving, the role of church, depression, government policies, menopause, PTSD, suicide, trauma, triggers, social determinants of health and much more.
We are committed to creating community conversations that:
- educate Black and Hispanic communities about mental health and its impact on families, communities and personal health;
- help people erase stigmas and increase understanding about loved ones dealing with mental health challenges and living with mental illnesses;
- share solutions about supporting and advocating for one another, as well as ourselves individually;
- and encourage a collaborative care approach that includes both mental and physical health care to improve overall health.
Our annual conference is held in July during Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.
Powerful & Inspiring

What attendees are saying about
SoundMinds Mental Health Awareness & Solutions Conference
Can I just tell you that the SoundMinds Conference was so much more than amazing! The topics were on point, the panelists were moving and the tribe was strengthened
SoundMinds Conference was absolutely excellent! Incredibly informative with very relevant and timely information on this tremendously urgent subject!
This will grow and reach many!
What a phenomenal conference that kept me engaged from beginning to end!
A conference of this importance was long overdue.
This is such vital information. As a mental health practitioner, we sometimes lose sight of the real life of the experience.
SoundMinds Conference changed my life and perspective living with anxiety and depression. I prayed for this moment!
