Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation

Pioneering Black mental health advocacy group, BLHF aims to empower individuals to embrace their history, heritage, and collective wounds in empathic and transformative ways. We understand the unique needs of communities of Color and are committed to connecting individuals with culturally competent therapy and wellness resources. Mission: Our mission is to create a new tradition of care for Black communities, clearing pathways that allow People of Color to see what their lives look like on the other side of suffering. We help you choose Joy over Everything. Vision: Our vision is to improve mental health in Black communities by building culturally-competent resources, programs, and education nationwide. We fight for a better future by advocating for mental health support in schools, reducing the alarming suicide rate among African Americans, addressing mental health issues among the incarcerated population to reduce recidivism rates, increasing the representation of Black therapists, and ensuring more Black individuals receive the care they need. Together, we strive to uplift and transform mental health outcomes in our communities.
