Ending the stigma of mental health and trauma through Movement, Art and Community Building
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
-Bebe Moore Campbell
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
July 2025
July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, also known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, designated to raise awareness about the unique mental health challenges faced by racial and ethnic minority groups.
Each summer, We the Peace hosts annual events in local communities to promote MMHA month.
MMHA month aims to reduce stigma, improve access to care, and promote culturally competent mental health services for these communities.
BE GOOD ENERGY
In July 2023, Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, We The Peace officially launched with a mission to bring joy and empowerment to underserved communities.
Our first summer, we directly served over 200 residents across three south suburban communities in Chicago, Illinois, offering culturally responsive trauma informed care programming rooted in mental health education, movement, and community care.
Our programs impacted:
- 2 - Police departments
- 1- Community library
- 2 - Park districts; and;
- 3 - Municipalities
We also served special populations of public safety, our elderly/senior citizens and children between the ages of 4-21+.
Our launch marked not just the beginning of an organization, but the rise of a movement dedicated to restoring peace where it's most needed--in the body, our minds and our neighborhood communities.
BEYHealed Summer 2025
This Year, We're Honored to Host BeyHealed: A Communal Healing, Joy & Visibility Event
This July, during Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we're hosting something special — and we’d love your support!
As the Beyhive global community wraps up their travel for Beyonce's Cowboy Carter World Tours' final shows in Las Vegas, NV, we're hosting a special event that builds community and focuses on healing, joy, and visibility; while also uplifting mental health awareness.
We're offering a night of sound baths and somatic movement experiences set to the healing music of Beyoncé; followed by an R&BEY Stake Party. We're celebrating music, the ultimate healing art and showing that through culture and community building we can end the stigma around mental health and trauma.
Las Vegas, Nevada has one of the highest suicide rates in the U.S.
We're raising awareness about suicide prevention and the impacts of depression, anxiety and loneliness.
Led by Trauma Informed Educator and Movement Facilitator
Robyn Donaldson, J.D., E-RYT 500, and co-hosted by
Deron Jordan, “King of the Beyhive,” this event is more than a gathering — it’s a culturally-rooted response to trauma, loneliness, and mental health disparities in marginalized communities.
