Black Mental Health Week 2025, led by the Confronting Anti-Black Racism (CABR) Unit and TAIBU Community Health Centre, is supported by Black Health Alliance (BHA), Strides Toronto, and a network of community partners hosting activities across the city.

This year’s theme, “Joy as Resistance“, underscores the power of joy as an act of defiance against systemic oppression. Within Toronto’s Black communities, joy is more than a fleeting emotion—it is a profound expression of resilience, survival, and cultural strength.
