01
Safety
Creating brave, secure spaces where healing can begin.
For our people, by our people
Join a community that cares.
We are building a community-led path to better mental wellness access throughout Black and Brown communities — with room to listen, learn, access support, and show up for one another.
Support community programs through Zeffy.
Community in action
Movement, rest, and time together.
Our mission
Mental wellness is community work.
To holistically improve access to mental wellness throughout the Black and Brown communities.
For our people, by our people means care that makes room for culture, identity, history, family, joy, and the realities of everyday life. We are creating more ways to talk honestly, learn together, connect to support, and make change.
Our framework
Three ways we make room for wellness.
02
Knowledge
Culturally relevant education and mental health literacy.
03
Advocacy
Amplifying voices for equitable mental health access.
The community ahead
We’re building this together.
The shape of this work keeps responding to the people who join. Here is how we are making space for community and wellness today.
01 / Members supporting members
Find a community that feels like a fit.
Explore the General Community, the Wellness Collective, and The State of the Black Man’s Mental Health.
02 / A directory from our community
Trusted connections, closer to home.
We are growing a directory of providers and wellness practitioners from our own community, with review as an important part of the process.
03 / Programs with the community
Designed with the people they serve.
Our programs will keep making space for movement, food, rest, reflection, conversation, and the ideas members bring forward.
04 / A growing path to member perks
More access as we grow.
As the community grows, we hope to build toward member perks and discounted services nationwide. Those benefits are not live today.
