Project Description

Psyches of Color, Inc. is a progressive 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses strengths-based and culturally relevant approaches to provide mental health education, family support, empowerment, and mentoring to decrease the stigma of mental health and promote radical healing to Black and Latinx adolescents and young adults.

Radical healing is a strengths-based approach to building the capacity of how individuals respond to their environment that results in the overall well-being of the individual.

We are seeking financial assistance to assist with our programming as we strive to work with Black and Latinx youth. We have a team of three psychologists who have obtained their doctorate degrees, youth leaders, and a dedicated individual who is currently incarcerated who helps us to bridge the two worlds of prison and the “free world.” Thank you so much for anything you can give!
