About Minds Matter Houston

The LIVE-streamed event airs on Black Girl Health Foundation's FB Page and is designed to help you take control of your mental health. Black Girl Health Foundation (BGHF) partnered with the Beaumont Public Library System to present "Minds Matter Houston".

Minds Matter Houston is part of BGHF’s Minds Matter Mental Health Campaign, which is a national campaign that includes digital and traditional grassroots awareness spearheaded by our BGHF College Ambassador Program. The campaign includes a series of mental health related workshops at community libraries in various cities in the country. Minds Matter Workshop Series has already taken place virtually and in-person in Harrisburg, PA and St. Louis, MO. BGHF will continue the workshop campaign series with Minds Matter Houston March 26th 2021. Due to the impact of COVID-19 this campaign will be entirely digital. The campaign includes the 1-day virtual event with a series of mental health related virtual workshops, and the execution of a targeted social media strategy to educate African American women on mental health.
