Courageous Conversations Conference
Advancing Justice, Healing, and Community Transformation
The South Coast Health Equity Coalition invites you to join us for the Courageous Conversations Conference, an annual gathering rooted in equity, truth-telling, cultural humility, and healing-centered engagement.
What began as the South Coast Diversity Conference has evolved into something deeper and more intentional. Courageous Conversations is more than a name change—it reflects a renewed commitment to honest dialogue, critical reflection, and collective liberation grounded in community wisdom and lived experience.
