THE CONVERSATION. THE EFFORT. THE MOVEMENT.
Statistics tell us that although about 25% of African Americans seek mental health treatment, compared to 40% of white Americans, unequal access to health care is one major contributor to the ongoing disparity.
The BMH Movement is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to fostering a community where Black individuals feel empowered, supported, and understood in their mental health journeys. Through advocacy, education, and culturally responsive resources, we strive to dismantle stigma, promote healing, and create equitable access to mental health services.
Together, we are committed to nurturing resilience, celebrating Black joy, and building a future where mental wellness is a fundamental right for all.
The purpose of the Movement is to promote mental health awareness, advocacy, and access to culturally
responsive mental health services within the Black community.
The Movement seeks to address systemic barriers to culturally responsive mental health care, reduce stigma, and empower individuals to prioritize their mental well-being.
