This event supports a national campaign hosted by The Links, Incorporated that focuses on health and wellness for Black families.

The Greater Cincinnati Black Family Wellness Expo will feature interactive sessions that focus on 8 dimensions of wellness: Emotional, Occupational, Intellectual, Environmental, Financial, Physical, Social and Spiritual.
