Cut to the Chase
Cut to the Chase is a monthly meet-up for Black men to gather and discuss the everyday challenges and issues they face. This program seeks to address and reduce the stigma surrounding Black men and therapy, and also provide culturally specific mental health resources and support uniquely tailored for men of color.
We invite Black men to join us for encouragement, counseling, and support in a small group setting with licensed mental health professionals. Meet-ups are held in both North and South Sacramento.
For questions, contact the Health & Quality of Life Team at info@gsul.org or (916) 286-8600.
