Mental health is often a topic that carries a stigma, but Courageous Healing, Inc. is taking bold steps to change that narrative. On Saturday, November 9, 2024, this local therapy agency will host "Therapists Night Live", a unique event designed to foster open conversation and create a welcoming, supportive space for the community of Fort Wayne to engage with Black and Brown mental health professionals.
The evening will take place at Baker Street Centre, formally C2G (323 W. Baker Street Fort Wayne, IN 46802), where therapists from Courageous Healing, Inc. will be on hand to answer questions about life, mental health, and the process of therapy. The goal of "Therapists Night Live" is clear: to break down the barriers that prevent many from seeking professional help and to normalize conversations around mental wellness.
"One of the biggest challenges we face as therapists is the reluctance people have to reach out for support because of the stigma associated with mental health," says Janell Lane, CEO/Co-Founder and therapist at Courageous Healing, Inc. "We want to offer a space where people can ask their questions without fear or judgment and realize that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but an act of courage."
Along with engaging conversations, the event will feature an artistic and musical experience to help cultivate a peaceful and positive atmosphere. Local DJs from Music Lover’s Lounge will provide soulful sounds, while healing artwork will be on display, encouraging reflection and connection. This holistic approach will not only create an uplifting environment but also help bridge the gap between mental and emotional wellness.
Importantly, all proceeds from "Therapists Night Live" will go toward providing therapy scholarships for those in the community who cannot afford the cost of services. Courageous Healing, Inc. is committed to making mental health care accessible to all, and this event is a key part of that mission.
"We know that for many, the cost of therapy can be a major barrier," says Aaron Lane, CEO/Co-Founder and therapist. "By attending this event, people are not only learning about mental health—they’re helping others get the care they need."
As conversations around mental health continue to evolve, events like "Therapists Night Live"' play a crucial role in shifting perspectives and creating a more supportive, understanding community. Courageous Healing, Inc. invites everyone—from those curious about therapy to those passionate about mental wellness—to join the conversation, enjoy the evening, and be part of this movement toward healing.
Doors open at 7 PM, and tickets can be purchased via EventBrite at CourageousHealingTherapistsNightLive.eventbrite.com. Come be a part of a night that promises to inspire, educate, and bring us closer as a community.
