Ep. 172: Black Male Mental Health-Radical Healing and the Power of Empathy: Dr. Halim Ali

Join the SonRise village this Sunday, June 25th, as we welcome activist, mentor, and mental health professional Dr. Halim Ali to discuss the Mile High Chess Club, which was established by From The Heart Foundation to cultivate the minds and spirits of adolescent youth who society may deem as “at-risk” individuals. Listen in as he describes the rigorous journey of enlightenment and empowerment that the youth embark upon, known as the Rites of Passage Program.

This program helps young people to learn life skills such as conflict resolution, social and emotional competency, and ways to improve their mental health while forming unbreakable bonds with each other and their mentors. Learn as Dr. Ali shares key insights and key learnings from the retreat and how they align with Black male mental health and well-being.
