The Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective, or BEAM, is a dynamic group of people committed to promoting emotional and mental health in the Black community.

The community has a diverse membership, from advocates to psychologists, therapists to lawyers, and religious leaders to teachers. It introduces new ways to approach mental health and healing, like crafting a toolbox that includes many enjoyable activities to address reform and reproductive justice issues.

Founded in 2017 in Los Angeles, the collective community provides a Black Virtual Therapist Directory for mental health services, a valuable resource for those in underserved areas. This project was much appreciated during the height of COVID-19.

The Black Wellness Organization also provides professional development and training for activists, grassroots movements, and others on mental health issues, emotional intelligence in leadership, unconscious bias, toxic elements of Black masculinity, and mental health literacy, among other topics.

BEAM is all about integrating healthy wellness systems into modern Black life while aiming for a “world with no barriers to Black healing” through education, training, advocacy, and even the creative arts!
