Everyone Deserves Access to Mental Health Care
For anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
Why Our Mission
Our mental health & wellness mission for Southeastern Pa, is to decrease the stigma, break the silence, normalize mental wellness, provide mental health education and increase a sustainable level of mental wellness in Black, Brown and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) hotspot communities that have been disproportionately impacted by historical racial trauma, ongoing racial inequities, systemic racism and the COVID-19 pandemic. Our black and brown communities have endured the tragic fallout from being medically and mentally underserved during the deadly effects of this pandemic.

When we normalize the idea that mental health checkups are as crucial as physical ones, we empower individuals to seek the help they need.
