We create and implement community engagements that are prioritized by a need or issue. Our current engagements include:
Critical Mass Health Conductors
The Critical Mass Health Conductors (HC) program is the preeminent behavioral health modification strategy created by and for the Black community. Begun in 2005, HC recruits, educates and trains volunteers during a four month “class†utilizing an afro-centric curriculum. During the process, participants become empowered through self-awareness, group support and guidance from a trained “conductor†to embrace a personalized behavioral health modification strategy that becomes the framework for a life changing experience. Upon graduation, each participant receives a Health Conductor number that designates their “passage†into an empowered life of individual and community health advocacy. Over 900 Bay Area residents are Health Conductors. Check out our website or call us to find out how to join the next Health Conductor class.
Youth Conductors 2014
Based upon the Health Conductor model, the new curriculum will focus on engaging a young generation, 18-30 years old, in a behavioral health modification with a health intervention and community leadership component. The goal of this Conductor model is to develop life changing behaviors and attitudes earlier to avert potential chronic disease conditions. The behavior modification will focus on both face to face and online strategies. Look for the Youth Conductors program in the Fall of 2014.
2014 Health Leadership Forum
The health and wellness of the Black community is the health of every community. The Health Leadership Forum, scheduled for October 2014 will empower, educate and galvanize attendees. With representatives from local, state and national institutions, this two day Forum will focus on the needs of youth, strategies to empower and improve our health and wellness and create an agenda to drive community change.
