Black Women's Health and Wellness Conference

Their motto is “A Healthier You! A Healthier Me! A Healthier We!” The purpose of this conference is to focus on reducing health disparities that disproportionately affect Black women by raising awareness about mental and physical health. The conference will educate attendees about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

For the last two years, they have successfully outreached and served over 300 black women throughout Sacramento County by hosting our conference. Through their annual conference, they have been able to provide a welcoming and supportive space where black women are able to engage with one another, focus on prioritizing their health. Last year they had over 150 participants who were able to increase their knowledge and awareness of cardiovascular health. This has been truly phenomenal due to the health disparities that black women face in Sacramento County.

Black women in Sacramento County, have the highest prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and are most infected with sexually transmitted infections and HIV. In addition, Black women suffer tremendously from depression and are the least likely to receive treatment.

This year’s conference will focus on inclusivity and we explore the diversity of black women from all backgrounds! They are going to discuss topics such as sexual orientation and gender identity, mental health, sexual health, and the negative impacts of racism and sexism has on our health. Come out and be a part of this SistaReunion!
