One of the key initiatives of Covenant Care is the annual Break the Stigma Conference, scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024.

Featuring collaborations with local African American professionals, including comedians, musicians, and massage therapists, the conference offers a diverse and innovative approach to mental health awareness.
In addition to the conference, Covenant Care is committed to ongoing community engagement through events like the "Wednesday Wellness Workshops" at the Beloit Public Library, starting May 15, 2024. These workshops provide a platform for continued conversation and support for those seeking mental health care. Covenant Care's dedication to creating a safe and supportive environment extends beyond the conference, with trained staff and volunteers available to provide assistance and support to attendees.
