Our mission is to meet the mental health and wellness needs of Black and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) women and all community members who identify across the African diaspora and reside in the Charlottesville area.
We provide culturally responsive mental health counseling and treatment through a trauma-healing lens, including one-on-one counseling and counseling groups.
We recognize the mental health impacts of anti-Black racism and systemic oppression.
We create safe and encouraging spaces for women to engage in collective healing.
We offer responsive programs and services to support whole body health, including artistic expression, social connection, mindfulness, and movement groups.
We engage in community-based education and outreach to expand mental health awareness.
We collaborate with partner organizations and community leaders to increase access to historically marginalized and under-resourced communities.
Our Vision:
We believe in the right of Black and BIPOC women, and people across the diaspora to receive support and strength to heal our bodies, minds, and spirits from racial and gender-based harm, and take space for rest in our collective and individual journeys.
Our Values:
We honor collective healing and unity, the spirit of Ubuntu, often translated as “I am because we are.”
