Mental Health x Community x Racial Justice

Karibu & Welcome to the Black Mental Health Program

Established in 2021, the Black Mental Health Program is bringing together Africa and the African Diaspora for better mental health. We do this through Black Healing & Learning Circles, Mental Health Career Hours and the Black Mental Health Fellowship program.


Since founding, this program has served over 400 people.

Wilbroad leading a youth mental health group as part of a community collaboration.

The Black Mental Health Fellowship Program

Fellowships exist throughout the global mental health space...

...but there isn't much dedicated to serving Africa & the African diaspora. Because of this, we're facilitating co-designed fellowships for young people from the diaspora who are passionate about mental health and doing things differently. Fellowships under this program are highly individualized, multi-impact experiences - no two fellowships are the same. Fellowship projects are typically low-cost, multi-impact & agile.

Field Updates, Uganda

Wilbroad is currently halfway through his fellowship experience, read more here.

The Bright Star Initiative

Teen moms and their children in Kenya face many challenges.

From depression and suicidality to food and housing insecurity, teen and young moms across Kenya are navigating a complex set of challenges on a daily basis. The Bright Star Initiative is a strengths-based program that provides basic services like food, clothes & hair hygiene and mental health support. Designed using community-cooperation methods, this program grows stronger by the day through word-of-mouth and is a great example of micro-budget, multi-impact program designed & implemented by the local community.

Field Updates, Kenya

Dorcas and Biko are on-ground facilitating this program weekly.
