We help give the topic of emotion room to be explored in space for and by BlackMEN to destigmatize emotional needs and capacity.
The silent struggle of depression in men is not new so we support men connected to BLACK INFANTS AND FAMILIES LOS ANGELES and BlackMEN who reside in Los Angeles County who want to thrive on purpose because we understand that relationships cause trauma and heal trauma. Click HERE for more details.
ART has the power to reshape mental health, stigma, connection, and our ability to express ourselves. The Crockpot & JuiceJoint have nurtured a community of black artists in Los Angeles for over a decade. Kaos Network has nurtured Leimert Park's many artistic expressions for three decades.
We collaborate to reach hearts already connected to spaces of liberation to expand trust and fulfill our mission to expand mental health access in Los Angeles County.
We are grateful to the Max & Pauline Zimmer Family Foundation, the Black Equity Collective, and The Amity Foundation for investments that make us capable of this work. We are grateful to SISTAHFRIENDS Women's Counseling and Eldercare Management and Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches for being mentors and fiscal partners. We are stronger together and we are honored for the diversity in our collaborative relationships.
