Share Our Stories #SOS
As Giving Tuesday approaches, we are excited to announce a special Year End Fundraising Campaign called: Share Our Stories #SOS.
This campaign aims to Encourage our Kings who have completed therapy through BMH and our followers to share their stories about their mental health journeys using the hashtag #ShareOurStories #SOS.
The goal is to raise $20,000 as we spread awareness and encouragement and normalize conversations about mental health and healing.
We will be sharing men’s mental health testimonials, tips, struggles, triumphs, lessons etc.
We Need YOUR Help!
Please consider making a tax-exempt donation to Black Men Heal for your Year-end tax-exempt giving.
Follow us on social. Look out for the campaign stories, and please like, comment and share them to help encourage our men and to spread awareness.
If you would like to join the campaign, you can also create a 1 minute or less video and DM us your video for a chance to be featured & tagged in the campaign.

We’re excited to announce that from today until December 31st, all donations to Black Men Heal will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor, until we reach our goal of $20,000!

Our Goal
Remove The StigmA
Research shows that men feel pressure to conform to traditional gender norms such a toughness, fearlessness, and invulnerability to pain. Unfortunately many Black men often suffer in silence because of fears that being vulnerable goes against masculinity ideals. Each male selected for the free sessions is essentially encouraged to become a mental health change agent. By one male simply sharing/discussing his experience with other black men, he creates a safe space for another man to step into.
Matching Providers and Clients
In addition to myths regarding masculinity, a second cited reason is apprehension about attending therapy is comfortability. Men of color want a therapist who they feel can actually identify with their unique cultural stressors such as racism, prejudice, and economic disparities.
Eliminating Costs
Lastly, a third major barrier is the cost of treatment or lack of insurance coverage. Based upon their experiences with other societal health organizations, research also indicates that men fear limited financial resources will result in not receiving quality therapy. We pair the male up with a provider of color who is qualified to meet their specific needs.
