About Black Mental Avenue 

The Mission: Black Mental Avenue’s mission is to sow seeds of thought-provoking change around the stigma of mental health in the BIPOC community. Through creating safe avenues for authentic mental health discussions, providing access to resources and financial assistance to therapy, our vision is to break intergenerational traumas and witnessed cycles to promote healing within our community.

The Why: As suicide rates among the Black and Brown community continue to rise, the time for change is now. Finding the right mental health solution can be challenging, especially when you don’t know where to start. Finances, fears, embarrassment, not knowing who to talk to, all play a part. Black Mental Avenue aims to take away the hurdles attached to mental wellness and kickstart the work within. If we start the work within ourselves, we can create new ways of thinking for the generations after us.
