#18: The Confess Project – A Mental Health Barbershop Movement

Millions of people struggle with mental health issues, especially
in the Black community. So Lorenzo Lewis, founder of The Confess
Project had a unqiue idea. He brought mental health to where
people go and talk about life; the barbershop. The team trains
barbers to become mental health advocates for black men, boys and
their families across the country. In this episode, the project's
Chief People Officer, Darnell Rice explains to us why and how a
haircut can be much more than just a haircut.


Hosted by Ed Crasnick and Jonathan Widder; edited by Jens
