Our mental health and well-being are some of the most important parts of taking care of ourselves. As first-generation BIPOC, it is even harder to find a therapist with whom we can relate or feel comfortable. Below are some sites where you can find Black and Brown therapists. (link in bio for links.)
Organizations are also below along with two additional resources & their websites.
