To cultivate systemic change and foster healing by providing resources and programming in mental health spaces for the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC

We know that folks from marginalized communities have less access to quality and SAFE care.  In this field we have answered call after call from folks who desperately need an inclusive space to heal and who have limited resources to have access to these safe places. We hope to bridge the gap between competent and safe care and financial accessibility to that care. Historically, clinicians from marginalized communities end up working in spaces that don’t create safety or empower them with the resources and tools they need to be excellent. This lack of support and demanding caseload is the norm for clinicians in marginalized communities. This model serves agencies but is the number one reason why so many marginalized clinicians burn out and leave the field, thus leaving a community in a deficit of representation and safety in their healing spaces. 

It is our hope at Healing in the Margins that we can create systemic change that disrupts this cycle, creating sustainability and care for clinicians and community members in the margins.
