As we wrap up Black History Month, we’re highlighting a few mental health resources in the Buffalo community that support and uplift Black wellness. 🖤

Swipe through to learn more about organizations working to break stigma, increase access to care, and create spaces where mental health conversations can happen openly and safely.

Mental health support should be accessible, culturally responsive, and rooted in community. We’re grateful for the work these organizations are doing every day to make that possible. ✨

Last week, we had an incredible night at the Veteran One Stop! We were proud to take part in their Open Mic, Open Heart event and to stand alongside the WNY Veteran and Artist Coalition as a partner. The talent in the room was unbelievable, and it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with others and share in such a meaningful experience.💙💚
