The ICBM Workshop Series, led by Fredrick Bush, LCSW, empowers Black men to explore masculinity through a culturally grounded and therapeutic lens. By integrating historical context, evidence-based practices, and emotional exploration, the series fosters personal fidelity, psychological resilience, and stronger relationships. Participants are encouraged to tap into deeper strengths, expand their worldviews, and build healthier emotional and familial legacies.

Black men ages 18-60+
ICBM offers Black men a fresh approach to engaging with the world. This experience creates space to build new and authentic ways of living, thinking, loving, and growing community. Through discussions, reflections, and group activities, participants explore paths to clarity, strength, healing, and purpose.
You’ll gain practical tools to show up more authentically in all areas of life while exploring a Culturally Principled Framework of Masculinity (CPFM). Join us in a supportive environment where your unique perspective matters and where together we can build what doesn’t yet exist.
While not required, we recommend attending the Introduction Event to gain valuable context. Think of the Intro as laying the foundation, and the Workshop as building the house.
BLACK MENtal Health: An Introduction To ICBM is a 4-hour session that plants the seeds — introducing core concepts about men’s mental health and intergenerational trauma. The Workshop is where these seeds grow — a two-day immersive experience exploring how history shapes our mental health, relationships, and communities, while equipping you with practical tools for personal transformation.
None whatsoever. Whether you’re taking your first steps on this journey or you’ve been walking this path for years, the Workshop meets you exactly where you are.
Expect a dynamic blend of engaging content, thought-provoking videos, honest group conversations, reflective exercises, and interactive activities — all within a space that affirms your experiences and encourages exploration.
Not at all. While ICBM is inspired by the concept of “systems design” as a metaphor for building new ways of being, the Workshop is for Black Men and other Men of Color who are ready to rethink how they live, love, lead, and hold themselves with integrity.
You’ll leave with more than just concepts. Expect a clearer sense of self, renewed energy, and practical tools to move through life with purpose and intention. Most importantly, you’ll connect with a community of brothers committed to creating what doesn’t yet exist.
To keep the experience personal, meaningful, and interactive, the ICBM Workshop is intentionally limited to a maximum of 40 participants. This smaller group size ensures that every voice is heard, every story matters, and real connections can be made.
ICBM is not a mass event — it’s a curated experience designed for depth, authenticity, and transformation. By keeping the group small, we create a powerful environment where honest dialogue, trust, and community can grow naturally. Your journey deserves more than a crowded room — it deserves space to be seen, heard, and empowered.
This workshop is by registration only and specifically crafted for Black men and men of color who are committed to personal growth, healing, and leadership. It’s a private, intentional gathering — not a drop-in event — built for those ready to build something new for themselves and their communities.
Once we reach 40 registered participants, registration will close. We recommend registering early to secure your place, as no additional seats will be added. If registration is full, you’ll have the opportunity to join a waitlist for future ICBM sessions.
To maintain the integrity of the space, walk-ins will not be accepted. Each participant must register individually to ensure we’re building a committed, intentional community. If you know someone who would benefit, please encourage them to register early.
