Dear Black Males…
This webinar will focus on the depiction of black males in today’s world, including the unique issues Black males go through and face.

Supporting Black males varies based on their individual needs and involves identifying supports that can be most effective. We will consider how efforts to adequately provide for Back males can be linked to the fight for larger social justice goals for individuals and their communities.
