To make mental health and related services available to underserved, underrepresented and underestimated people through organizational and individual capacity building. We are most notably dedicated to supporting services to people who have experienced discrimination and stigma and to those whose identities are particularly vulnerable to systems of oppression.

Programs and Initiatives

We began in 2018 with a mission to ensure that underserved, underrepresented, and underestimated people have access to  mental health and related services.  Over the past few years, we have endured a firestorm of traumatic events.  Unfortunately, the most vulnerable among us have the least access to mental health services.  Our programs can make big difference in the lives of vulnerable people.
