Free Men’s Health Programming at Blue Door Neighborhood CenterSM (BDNCSM)
Our BDNC locations in the Morgan Park, Pullman and South Lawndale neighborhoods of Chicago are one way we work with you to make a difference in our communities.
We created programming in June for National Men’s Health Awareness Month including an event on June 4 with TMH Mancave, a nonprofit created to eliminate the social stigma with the mental health needs of Black men. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. we’ll discuss questions about men’s health and have low-impact fitness demonstrations, brunch bites and guest speakers.
We’re also planning a Men’s Wellness event on Saturday, June 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., including food cooked by male chefs, a DJ, physical activity demonstrations and community resources.
We’re offering a yoga class just for men every Monday at the Pullman location from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Yoga is a great way to release tension and to learn how breathing can reduce stress. Join us for a four-part yoga experience tailored for men and rooted in African cultural practices.
You and your patients also are invited to participate in these popular classes offered every month. View the calendars at BDNC at Morgan Park, BDNC at Pullman and BDNC at South Lawndale for details on all our programs, events and classes, and to register:
