The one-day men’s wellness event takes place from 10 AM to 2 PM at the AT&T Performing Arts Center’s Hamon Hall, with a companion women’s evening experience, Just Heal Sis, also scheduled later that day.

Headlining the event are Dr. Jay Barnett and actor and gospel artist David Mann, united around a single, resonant theme: A Safe Space to Heal. Dr. Barnett is a former professional football player turned licensed therapist, author, and public speaker who has built a movement around mental health advocacy, particularly within Black communities. His work centers on dismantling stigmas surrounding mental health among men and creating spaces where vulnerability is not just accepted, but celebrated as strength.

The event is presented in partnership with ProBlk Health Vitamins and is part of Dr. Barnett‘s broader Just Heal platform, which delivers unfiltered conversations on healing, growth, and transformation from the perspective of a Black male therapist.
