Numerous studies illustrate the systemic neglect, exclusion, and harm that Communities of Color experience within the mental health care system. BI&POC individuals with intersecting marginalized identities, such as those within the 2SLGBTQ+, Neurodivergent, and Disabled communities, encounter even more severe barriers, including discrimination, rejection, stigmatization, gatekeeping, and culturally inappropriate practices.

The mental health profession is predominantly composed of white, cisgender, non-queer, neurotypical, and non-Disabled individuals. Consequently, the field perpetuates ideologies that are white-centric, cis-hetero-patriarchal, classist, and ableist, deeply ingrained across every level, from education and training to clinical practice.

These entrenched inequities and structural violence not only limit access to healing but also restrict career opportunities for individuals from BI&POC and intersecting marginalized communities. The consequences are painful and undeniable.

Until we collectively dismantle the colonial and oppressive structures embedded within the mental health field, we must first harness our collective power to reimagine and reclaim healing for ourselves. Our mission is to bridge BI&POC communities with quality, culturally responsive therapy and empower future generations of Clinicians of Color. We hope that you'll support our mission. 

Our approach is rooted in an ecological model, a term that some may liken to "grassroots," but transcends that definition. We operate distinctively from traditional charities or entities within the nonprofit industrial complex. We adamantly reject the notions of white saviorism, white feminism, and any other top-down approaches masquerading as "help," which perpetuate harm upon Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color.

Community and collective liberation are at the heart of our work. What defines us is the cultivation of an ecosystem built on shared liberatory values and practices, such as anti-oppression, anti-capitalism, and anti-colonialism.

Our BIPOC providers actively contribute to this ecosystem by extending care back to our own BIPOC communities, with a focus on uplifting the most marginalized identities. Simultaneously, we are nurturing the future generation of BIPOC clinicians, fostering growth in mental health advocates and activists who will continue the transformative work ahead.
