Minority Mental Health Project 2022: God can't fix what we don't face!Our New Video!
Good mental health is vital to our physical health and our well-being as individuals, as families, and as a community.
Minority Mental Health Project (MMHP) seeks to empower Black and Brown individuals, families, and communities in Louisville and its surrounding communities, who have historically faced multiple barriers to accessibility, affordability, and availability of culturally appropriate mental health practitioners. Minority Mental Health Project works with community partners to provide mental health resources and education and engages in policy and advocacy.
Genuine care is fundamental for the fortitude of our community, our people, and our souls. MMHP stands with you, ready to help build a more empowered, equitable, and compassionate community. One of the ways that we do this is through our Community Voucher Program. This is a program that seeks to eliminate barriers and stigma for individuals for mental health care services.
