We believe in the Minority Mental Health Project.
Our goal is to continue to strengthen the community with our efforts to bridge resources to people of color who'd like them.
We are excited to award up to $2,000 in merit-based scholarships to five racially minoritized students who possess a strong desire to make a significant impact in the mental health field.
We’re committed to improving the quality of mental health care provided in structurally marginalized communities. Our work prioritizes increased awareness, mental health stigma elimination, and increased service accessibility. We achieve this through our Community Voucher Program, Provider Database, and Educational Platforms. These programs help to eliminate obstacles by decreasing cost barriers, which increases access to providers.
To support the next generation of mental health professionals, we’re providing financial support for tomorrow’s leaders.
