BALTIMORE — A national Black male mental health tour called Just Heal Bro is coming to Baltimore Saturday.

It's a way for Black men to discuss trauma and healing in a safe space.

The event gets underway at Coppin State University at 10am.

Attendees can also get a free haircut.

Afterwards, an interactive panel with mental health professionals featuring actor Laman Rucker.

Research shows Black men are less likely to seek mental health treatment, with some studies indicating an increased suicide rate.

Dr. Errol Bolden, the Associate Provost and Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs at Coppin State University, knows firsthand how reluctant Black men are to reach out for help.

The event is open to the public.
