Men’s Wellness Summit: Reflection, Connection & Care
On October 2, community members gathered at the Shine Bright Community Center for the Men’s Wellness Summit — a day of honest conversation, reflection, and connection led by Dr. Travis A. Gayles and other community leaders. Hosted by ChiWellness partners Project Vida, UBtheCURE, and Pride in the Pews — along with Wellness Home of Chicago, and AIDS Foundation Chicago — the Summit created space for men to explore what wellness means across mind, body, and soul.
Through roundtable dialogue, wellness workshops, and moments of brotherhood, participants were reminded that care begins with conversation — and that healing grows stronger when it happens together.
