Abstract

Recent years brought to light the immense challenges and enduring traumas for Black parents due to systemic injustices like pandemic disparities, police violence, and various structurally oppressive forces. There is also a profound absence of evidence-based resources intentionally tailored to help Black caregivers navigate racialized parental stress and the recurring impacts of racism on themselves and their children.

In response, the Race and Youth Development team at Pitt’s Center on Race and Social Problems partnered with two other community organizations—Awaken Pittsburgh and Homewood Children’s Village—to integrate their resources and infrastructure to establish Mindful Connections for Black Families (MCBF). MCBF exists at the intersection of racial justice, human development, and mindfulness and equips caregivers with tools for resilience, stress management, trauma identification, and raising thriving Black youth. This session provides an interactive platform to explore community-led initiatives, shared leadership, and problem-solving in Black family empowerment and community resilience, using MCBF as a case study to foster healing and disrupt cycles of oppression.
