We’re honored to share that Welcome 2 Reality was recently featured on NBC Connecticut for our 2025 Fatherhood Health and Wellness Summit, held in Waterbury. The segment spotlighted the powerful conversations and resources provided during the event, all aimed at improving health outcomes for men.
As our Director of Training, Marcus Stallworth, shared in the interview:
“We really want to elevate the awareness of men’s health and men’s wellness.”
About the Summit
Our Men’s Health Summit was created to shine a light on the importance of regular check-ups and preventative care—especially for men of color who are disproportionately impacted by health issues like prostate cancer and heart disease.
The event brought together men from across the community for:
- Expert panels on critical health issues and whole-person wellness.
- Free health screenings to encourage proactive care.
- Cooking demonstrations and wellness activities that promote healthier daily living.
- Open conversations and networking opportunities, giving men the space to share, connect, and learn together.
Why It Matters
This summit wasn’t just about information—it was about empowerment. We believe men deserve spaces where they can learn, ask questions, and access tools to live healthier, longer lives. Through community partnerships and collective effort, we’re working to remove barriers and build stronger futures.
