# Event Details - **Event Name**: Cuisine & Conversation: A Bridge to MENtal Wellness - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Are we talking about Men's mental health enough? Another suicide should not spark the conversation. Our mental health is a serious issue.About this EventWhat is hindering us from talking about mental health? Fear, shame, stigma, and judgment are barriers to conversation about mental health concerns. The alternatives range from alcohol, drugs or suffering in silence. We will not change help-seeking behaviors, until we change the way we think.The statistics are devastating and undeniable: suicide has become the third-leading cause of death for Black men, yet this Black men’s mental health crisis remains largely invisible, hidden behind cultural expectations and systemic barriers that prevent vulnerable men from seeking the help they desperately need.Break the stigma: Conversations about suicide can feel uncomfortable, but one of the most important ways to reduce the stigma is to have honest discussions about the prevalence of suicidal ideation. Change begins with you. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/1e12ad70-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1109-h740-dc383828-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/1e4f4140-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1108-h740-dc686878-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/1e62f050-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1080-h740-dc584848-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/1e9c76e0-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h676-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/1eae9f50-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w1200-h675-dc282828-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/1eda1c20-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w477-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/1f235a20-a70d-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w495-h740-dc585858-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/duncanville/cuisine-and-conversation-a-bridge-to-mental-wellness/100001994797162010 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, mental-health, food-drinks, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 107 S Cedar Ridge Dr - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Duncanville - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: 107 S Cedar Ridge Dr - **lat**: 32.6509645 - **long**: -96.92622689999999 - **full address**: 107 S Cedar Ridge Dr, 107 South Cedar Ridge Drive, Duncanville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cuisine & Conversation: A Bridge to MENtal Wellness - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/b56d8b3a56227b4e15428331a179ddd851a038bc13ad174b26c526f4de4c5251-rimg-w940-h788-dc086838-gmir.jpg?v=1786007841 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cuisine & Conversation: A Bridge to MENtal Wellness being held? - **A:** Cuisine & Conversation: A Bridge to MENtal Wellness takes place on Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 19 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 107 S Cedar Ridge Dr, 107 South Cedar Ridge Drive, Duncanville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Cuisine & Conversation: A Bridge to MENtal Wellness? - **A:** Cuisine & Conversation: A Bridge to MENtal Wellness is organized by Bridging the Gap Foundation. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
