Black Daddies Club is excited to relaunch the Sunday Dinners initiative in 2023, collaborating with Talk It Out Counselling (TIOC) Clinic, White Ribbon, and Asante Talks. The premise of Sunday Dinners, is to co-create an intentional space for Black men to speak to other Black men about issues that impact our mental health as Black men. Previously, Sunday Dinners took place monthly during COVID-19 and were held virtually on Zoom online platform. This year will be the first time that Sunday Dinners, will be offered in-person, and they will take place quarterly (every 3-months). We are looking forward to breaking bread and building with you.
A Day of Conversation About Black Masculinity and Mental Health is a 3-part, day-long event being held at Verity Centre for Better Living (449 Vaughan Rd), focused on understanding the unique mental health needs of Black men in Toronto. The day-long event is a collaboration between Black Daddies Club and its Sunday Dinner series, Talk It Out Counselling (TIOC) Clinic, White Ribbon, and Asante Talks, combining inspirational keynote, panel discussion, and a meal and dialogue session.
