WELCOME
WE ARE THE BLACK COUNSELING AND CONSULTING COLLECTIVE.
The Black Counseling and Consulting Collective is a nonprofit organization aimed at empowering and uplifting health and wellness services for the enhancement of individuals, groups and families overall well-being within the Black community.
​
Our mission is achieved via the following principles; direct mental health services, community based programming and outreach, promoting collaboration and engagement amongst Black clinicians.
​
Through advocacy, education and collaboration we strive to break down barriers to mental health care, promote culturally responsive care, and build a healthier, more resilient community.
The Black community suffers from an increased rate of mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression. The increased incidence of psychological difficulties in the Black community is related to the lack of access to appropriate and culturally responsive mental health care, prejudice and racism inherent in the daily environment of Black individuals, and historical trauma enacted on the Black community by the medical field. Moreover, given that the Black community exists at the intersection of racism, classism, and health inequity, their mental health needs are often exacerbated and mostly unfulfilled. Issues related to economic insecurity, and the associated experiences, such as violence and criminal injustice, further serve to compound the mental health disparities in the Black population.
