Because the barbershop in Black communities is often a safe place for clients to discuss their health concerns and needs, the Jackson Heart Study’s Community Engagement Center is partnering with the Confess Project team to train Mississippi barbers in mental health support for their clients.
This free event will take place on Monday, August 1, 9:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Jackson Convention Complex, 105 E. Pascagoula St., in Jackson.
Barbers who want to help their communities can register by visiting https://msphi.org/theconfessproject/. The first 100 barbers registered will receive a $150 gift card.
For more information, call the Mississippi State Department of Health’s Office of Preventive Health and Health Equity at 601-206-1559.
