Project snapshot

The Check In is a weekly men’s mental health group in Harlem expanding into a citywide community wellness initiative for Black and Brown men. The project will implement monthly themed workshops, seasonal in-person events, and hybrid sessions featuring guest speakers, licensed clinicians, and community leaders. Investments include accessible venues, meals, wellness materials, travel stipends, outreach branding, and a digital platform to increase access. This model reduces participation barriers and creates a replicable approach to mental health support in underserved communities.
