DETROIT –
Healing Detroit, a series of retreats for Detroit area LGBT African-Americans, is set to launch its fourth round of retreats in Feb., April and June 2011. This next series is supported by a $15,000 grant from The Arcus Foundation.
"Detroit's African-American LGBT community aims to have improved communication to decrease duplication of services and therefore improve our ability to impact more with limited resources," said Curtis Lipscomb, executive director of KICK – The Agency for LGBT African-Americans. "Through strategic collaborating partnerships, we will formulate viable plans of action to address those issues that impact our community such as ageism, mental and physical health disparities, our spiritual/religious well-being, and making unique connections with our youth."
To participate in a Healing Detroit retreat, email [email protected], or call KICK at 313-285-9733.
