What We’ll Explore

Cancer

What should young adults know about cancer, risk, and prevention?

We’ll explore:

• Common cancer risk factors
• The importance of knowing your body
• Family history and inherited risk
• Healthy lifestyle choices that may help reduce risk
• Why prevention and early detection matter

Obesity

Healthy living is about more than a number on a scale.

We’ll talk about:

• How nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress can affect overall health
• Health risks that can be associated with obesity
• Building realistic, healthy habits
• Making informed choices that support long-term health
• Small changes that can make a difference over time

Mental Health

Your mental health is an important part of your overall health.

We’ll have an open, judgment-free conversation about:

• Stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being
• Recognizing when you or someone you care about may need support
• Healthy ways to cope with stress
• The importance of asking for help
• Community resources and support

This Is a Conversation — Not a Lecture

Why Attend?

Your health decisions today can influence your health for years to come.

This workshop is about empowerment—not fear.

We want Lumbee young adults to leave feeling more knowledgeable, more confident asking questions about their health, and better prepared to advocate for themselves and their families.

You’ll also have an opportunity to connect with trusted community voices and learn about resources that can help you continue your health journey after the workshop.
