LI Black and Latinx Therapists Listserve:
BEmotionally Fit launched the Long Island Black & Latinx Therapists Listserv in October of 2020 in response to the high rate of requests for therapists of color from community members. Black and Latino people in particular face many obstacles in accessing mental health services often due to affordability, insurance, distance, language, or simply wanting someone they relate to. In creating this network of professionals we hope to make it easy for our community to get support from another person of color. HOOD Therapy Collection:
BEmotionally fit launched the HOOD Therapy Collection in December of 2020 dedicated to people of color serving or investing in any way to their own community. The collection serves to highlight the healing power of everyday folks Helping Ourselves to Overcome Discrimination. Sales of any item will also increase access to therapy for Black and Latinx people in Long Island. All profits will go towards a fund to pay for therapy for those with no insurance, high co-pays, or need a therapist out of network.
