The African American Leadership Forum’s (AALF) 2020 Collective Impact Workstreams, the Cultural Wellness Center and Relationships LLC have partnered to create an online directory of BIPOC healers working across different methodologies that support the health & well-being of people of color! The directory is part of our commitment to supporting a vibrant ecosystem of thriving African American and IPOC families in Minnesota. Complete the form and share it among your network.
By creating this directory and filling it with healers of color, we’re providing a valuable resource needed to provide restorative healing in communities that are often impacted by injustice and historical marginalization. Healers and mental health providers of color help to de-stigmatize mental health by supporting emotional and mental wellness even in the absence of a chronic illness, they also foster a community in which access to mental healthcare and wellness tools are a priority in social justice movements and calls for change.
This directory is a tool for supporting self-love, liberation, and the re-claiming of our whole selves as BIPOC people by utilizing the wisdom and expertise of healers of color. Culturally competent healers and mental health practitioners are crucial for helping our communities navigate the impacts of systemic racism and oppression in Minnesota and across the country. If you’re a BIPOC healer, complete the form and share it among your networks.
