Men, your mind matters.

Join us next Tuesday for MENtal Health, a male-only Sickle Cell Disease and Trait Community Group created as a safe and supportive space for men to connect, talk honestly, and prioritize their mental well-being.

This virtual gathering is for male warriors, caregivers, and community members who want to learn, share, and support one another beyond the diagnosis.

Let’s break the stigma, build community, and remind each other that strength includes asking for support.

Calling all talented Sickle Cell Warrior Artists! 🎨✨

Cayenne Wellness Center and Children’s Foundation is on the lookout for gifted Sickle Cell Warriors to collaborate with us on our 2026 SC Warrior Special Edition products.

Every year, we feature a Warrior Artist whose unique artwork tells the story of our community. The proceeds from these special edition products benefit both the featured artist and our SCD Client Assistance Program, which offers essential care coordination for individuals living with sickle cell disease in California.

This year’s theme is:

“20/20 Vision: Our Legacy Continues”

We invite artists skilled in drawing, painting, sculpture, digital art, and other visual art forms to join us. This is your chance to showcase your creativity, support fellow warriors, and contribute to a meaningful legacy.

795 signatures strong — and we’re not stopping there!

Cayenne Wellness Center is advocating for $15 million in state funding over 3 years to maintain and expand vital services for those affected by sickle cell disease in California.

These services provide crucial support in mental health care, transportation, childcare/respite, housing and utilities, education, and care connection.

Help us reach our goal of 1,000 signatures by June 9, 2026. Sickle cell disease is still underfunded, and our community deserves better resources. Your voice is powerful.

Scan the QR code or sign the petition today. Don’t forget to share this post with your friends and family.

Join Cayenne Wellness Center in this fight.
