Health Committee Presents:
Men's Health Month

This June, we gather with purpose, brotherhood, and healing.
The NAACP Albany Branch is proud to stand alongside the Nu Tau Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and the Mu Iota Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. for our Men’s Health Month Series — a space created not just for conversation, but for transformation.
For too long, Black men have carried silent burdens: stress, trauma, grief, pressure, and generational wounds passed down without room to heal. We’ve been taught survival, but not always restoration. Strength, but not softness. Leadership, but not vulnerability.
This series is about changing that narrative.
Through fellowship, honest dialogue, movement, education, and community, we are confronting the realities impacting Black men’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. From heart health awareness to conversations around trauma and coping, we are choosing to break cycles instead of repeating them. We are choosing healing over silence. Awareness over avoidance. Brotherhood over isolation.
The men of Omega Psi Phi and Phi Beta Sigma stand united in a shared mission: to uplift our communities by first making space for men to be whole. Because when Black men heal, families heal. Communities heal. Generations heal.
Join us this June in Albany as we show up strong — for ourselves, for each other, and for the generations coming behind us.
