On this World Mental Health Day, let’s acknowledge the importance of accessible mental health care, especially for historically underserved and marginalized communities. For too long, systems of care and power have excluded many from receiving the support they need.

At Canopy, we believe in the power of community-based care. By centering culturally responsive, trauma-informed services, we aim to create healing spaces for those who have previously been failed by mainstream systems.

Mental health is messy. Everyone’s journey is unique—no two people experience mental health challenges the same way. That’s why personalized care matters.

"We can’t save anybody – they have to save themselves. But what we can do is give them the proper resources and hope." - BCR Responder David R.

Thank you to Fox 9 for shining a light on the critical work that Canopy Roots and the Behavioral Crisis Response Team are doing to support folks in crisis in Minneapolis!

"At the end of the day, it feels good to go home and know you made a difference in someone's life, even if it's just one person."

The Minneapolis crisis response team, which was formed as an alternative to police after the murder of George Floyd, has responded to more than 20,000 calls since it was formed – handling calls ranging from mental health to homelessness and addiction.
