Over the next two months, our Supportive Housing group is focusing on relationships, what makes them healthy vs. unhealthy, how to build trust, set boundaries, and strengthen both intimacy and friendships. 💬💞

It’s all about real talk, personal growth, and learning how to show up for ourselves and each other. Let’s grow together. 🌱✨

Special thanks to Marquia for skillfully facilitating these important conversations and creating a safe space for our participants. We appreciate the work that you do! 🙌🏽💛

🍦✨ For National Ice Cream Day, we brought Ice Cream for a Dream with Abdul-Rahmaan I. Muhammad to our Youth Summer Program! Nothing beats free ice cream and big dreams. 😎💭 From future doctors to artists, we loved hearing what our youth imagine for their futures.

Because every dream starts with a conversation, and maybe a sweet treat too. 💙

🧠 Mental health doesn’t affect us all equally, and the numbers prove it.

For Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, the barriers to care are real: limited access, cultural stigma, underrepresentation, and deep-rooted systemic inequities.

📊 Just 1 in 3 Black adults who need care receive it.
📊 Only 35% of Hispanic/Latinx adults with mental illness receive treatment.
📊 Fewer than 9% of Asian Americans seek mental health support.
📊 Su***de is the second leading cause of death for Native youth.

These aren’t just statistics — they’re warning signs. It’s time to break the silence, push for access, and build healing spaces for us, by us.

✨ Let’s make mental health care accessible, affirming, and equitable for every community.

Brotherhood. Healing. Growth. 💪🏾🌿
The 2nd Annual Men’s Health & Wellness Weekend reminded us just how powerful it is when men come together to rest, reflect, and rise. From yoga to deep conversations, every moment was a step toward wholeness.

To every man who showed up with heart and intention—thank you. The journey doesn’t end here. Year 3, we’re coming for you.

💚 July is BIPOC Mental Health Month, a time to raise awareness, break stigma, and uplift healing in our communities.

Mental health challenges don’t discriminate. but access, stigma, and culturally informed care do.

This month, we honor the unique mental health experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. It's a time to spotlight the need for equity in care, amplify the voices of BIPOC, and remind our communities that healing is possible and deserved.

🧠✨ Let’s put mental health at the center of community care.

Our Summer Enrichment Camp counselors just wrapped up their first week, and they’ve already helped bring the world to life through art, music, dance, and creativity!

Each day, our campers explored different cultures through hands-on experiences that sparked their imaginations and built deeper understanding. From learning new rhythms to trying unique art techniques, our counselors led with heart, passion, and a whole lot of fun.

This team is setting the tone for a summer filled with discovery, creativity, and cultural pride. We can’t wait to see what they inspire next!
