Black Mental wellness Mentorship program
The Black Mental Wellness team is excited about mentoring the next generation of mental health professionals of color.
Since 2019, the Black Mental Wellness team has been working with undergraduate, graduate students, and individuals in the middle of a gap year and in need of career guidance. In 2021, we expanded our mentorship program to include additional mentors who have a range of knowledge and expertise.
Mentees in our program are matched with a mental health professional over the course of an academic school year. Throughout the year, mentees receive:
-
A minimum of virtual bi-weekly communication with a mental health professional
-
Guidance and support regarding professional and personal development
-
Opportunities to enhance leadership skills
-
Opportunities to contribute to content produced by Black Mental Wellness
-
The 2025 application cycle has closed

March is Women's History Month! As we honor women's incredible achievements and contributions throughout history, let's celebrate how far we've come.
Join us for an empowering and reflective workshop for Black women seeking to prioritize self-care, embrace balance, and reclaim health, joy, and prosperity. During this interactive session, you'll take a trip down memory lane. You'll have the opportunity to acknowledge your progress and assess where you are on your wellness journey today.
The event hosts will guide participants in prioritizing intentional self-care and reflecting on their progress toward becoming their best selves. Whether focusing on mental health, wellness, career growth, or cultivating joy and rest, this workshop will inspire you to align your energy and intentions for a fulfilling and balanced life.
