The 2024 PA Black Health Matters Conference theme, “Release and Restore,” centers around mental wellness. In a world filled with stress and anxiety, this year’s conference aims to guide attendees in the art of releasing emotional burdens and negative thought patterns that may be holding them back. By acknowledging and addressing past traumas and daily pressures, participants will learn techniques for letting go and finding peace within themselves. Additionally, the conference emphasizes the importance of restoring one’s inner well-being by reigniting passions and rediscovering what brings joy and fulfillment. Through workshops, discussions, and resources, attendees will be empowered to build a strong mental and emotional health foundation.
