Using excerpts from the book "The Invisible Ache: Black Men Identifying Their Pain and Reclaiming Their Power" by Courtney B. Vance and Dr. Robin L. Smith as a springboard for discussion, we will hear from experts as we consider the mental health needs of Black men and the effect that it can have on families and communities.
