Description
We’re Changing This Norm
To address health disparities and Black women, we created, “Changing the Norm Wellness program”. CTN wellness program is a 6-week online health education and wellness program created specifically for African-American women.
It is designed to:
- Inform Black women about health conditions that disproportionately affect them
- Educate them on how to reduce risk and prevent chronic illness
- Empower Black women to become confident advocates for their own health
- Teach Black women how to move more, eat healthier, stress less
- Help Black women navigate healthcare systems that don’t listen to their health needs
This program meets Black women where they are, without judgment, shame, or unrealistic expectations.
What Makes This Wellness Program Different
- Culturally relevant health education
- Safe, supportive, affirming space
- Prevention-focused—not crisis-driven
- Education + empowerment, not fear
- Online and accessible
- Led and created by a Black women, with understanding of Black women’s lived experiences
How is Program Implemented?
- Length: 6-weeks
- Format: Online / Virtual
- Session Length: 1 hour per week
- Audience: African-American women
Focus: Education, prevention, community and advocacy. Each week includes a 1-hour virtual session that blends education, discussion, reflection, and practical tools women can apply immediately.
Why is This Program Necessary?
- Black women are often taught to be strong—but not supported.
- Strong doesn’t mean sacrificing your health.
- Strong doesn’t mean ignoring warning signs.
- Strong doesn’t mean carrying everything alone.
By the End of Changing the Norm, Participants Will:
- Understand the major health conditions that disproportionately affect Black women
- Know early warning signs to pay attention to
- Understand how stress impacts chronic illness
- Learn realistic strategies to reduce health risks
Changing the Norm Is About More Than Health
It’s about rewriting the narrative that Black women must sacrifice their wellbeing to be everything for everyone else. Because when Black women are healthy, families thrive, communities grow stronger, and generations are changed.
It’s time for Black women to stop normalizing exhaustion, illness, and burnout.
It’s time to start Changing the Norm.
