Self Care Summit Health & Wellness Event

The Higher Way Church and the African American Male Wellness Agency (AAMWA) invite you to attend the Self-Care Summit Health & Wellness Event featuring RealMen RealTalk and Uplift Her. The event takes place Saturday, August 23rd, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Free health screenings will be available beginning at 8:00 a.m.)

Expect an impactful day of learning, listening, connection, and transformation through empowering sessions and health & wellness huddles led by healthcare experts. You will have access to valuable resources designed specifically with you in mind.

While this FREE summit is especially designed to uplift and empower men in their self-care journey, we warmly welcome women, children, and families to attend. We believe holistic wellness is a community effort, and there will be sessions and resources available for everyone to grow, heal, and thrive together.

Come grow with us! Don’t miss this opportunity to recharge, refocus, and rise together.

Info: Free Screenings include Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index (BMI), Glucose/A1C Mental Health Screenings including Depression and Anxiety

Info: Take charge of your physical health by understanding key numbers and what they mean. In this session, Dr. Chery will walk through the importance of key health numbers every man should know and gain an understanding of why they matter. We’ll talk prostate health, regular check-ups, and everyday habits that help you stay ahead of problems before they start.

Info: Yoga & Breath Work Session: The session is in collaboration with the Harris County Public Health to promote mental well-being and self-care practices within the community, offering an inspiring and engaging experience for all ages. Phoenix, with her remarkable talent and passion for yoga, will guide attendees through an interactive session designed to introduce fundamental yoga poses and proper breathing in a fun activity.

Info: Your soul needs care just as much as your body does. In this powerful session, Pastor Jamail Johnson will guide you through practical and spiritual tools like journaling, prayer, meditation, and counseling that can help you release stress, restore peace, and reconnect with God’s purpose for your life.

Info: In this powerful “Mask Off” session, Shawn Allison encourages men to remove societal masks and embrace their authentic selves: mind, body, and soul. The workshop creates a safe space where vulnerability and emotional honesty are welcomed, allowing men to express their true feelings without judgment. This openness is a core part of the Real Men Real Talk platform, helping men confront challenges, identify trauma and begin to heal.

Info: Join Dr. Allison Bates as she leads an empowering session focused on women’s mental health and wellness. Explore strategies to manage stress, heal from trauma, and build resilience. This supportive workshop offers practical tools and compassionate guidance to help women nurture their emotional well-being and thrive.

Uplift Her is a signature AAMWA initiative dedicated to empowering women of color through wellness education, health screenings, and community support.
