Therapy For Black Girls
The aim of Therapy For Black Girls is to destigmatize mental health and help Black females get access to the therapy they need. According to their website, the organization presents “mental health topics in a way that feels more accessible and relevant.” This is mainly done through their podcast, which addresses everything from relationships and social perceptions to mental illnesses and the connection between mental and menstrual health.

They also facilitate educational programming to Black people on healing and seeking additional help. The organization also connects Black people to hundreds of culturally competent therapists through the country amongst other services.

BEAM
BEAM focuses on promoting “social justice informed mental health literacy,” which they define as “mental health education framed in the social-historical context of inequality that aids in the skills building, healing and liberation of communities.” When they’re not promoting changes to how professionals approach Black mental health, they’re raising money to help promote Black-led wellness organizations.
