We effect changes and build equity into the Mental Health System through collaboration with community partners in delivery of therapy & wellness services, working towards making access to maintaining licensure status more financially equitable (access to free advertisement, supervision and marketing), providing direct services to our communities for more effective and equitable therapy & wellness delivery. We also provide education to the community on implicit bias, reducing harm to our communities, providing culturally relevant & equitable services, and community healing.
