Loveland Foundation

The Loveland Foundation was established in 2018 by Rachel Cargle in response to her widely successful birthday wish fundraiser, Therapy for Black Women and Girls. Her enthusiastic social media community raised over $250,000, which made it possible for Black women and girls nationally to receive therapy support. Black women and girls deserve access to healing, and that healing will impact generations.

The Loveland Foundation is the official continuation of this effort to bring opportunity and healing to communities of color, and especially to Black women and girls. Through fellowships, residency programs, listening tours, and more, ultimately we hope to contribute to both the empowerment and the liberation of the communities we serve.

Melanin Mental Health

Melanin & Mental Health® was born out of a desire to connect individuals with culturally competent clinicians committed to serving the mental health needs of Black & Latinx/Hispanic communities. We are committed to promoting the growth and healing of our communities through our website, online directory, and monthly events.

We regularly receive inquiries from people across the country asking if we know of clinicians in their area. Because of this we are planning events in cities across the US to help us connect clinicians with those potential clients and give us more insight about the way these cities are changing the mental health game. If you are interested in Melanin and Mental Health® coming to a city near you, send us an email and will work with you to make it happen.

Mental Wealth Alliance

OUR VISION

 Contemporary mental health issues facing Black people, such as the psychological needs of veterans, the plight of youth in the educational and juvenile justice systems, the travesty of elders suffering from neglect, and the difficulties of people trying to survive within the homeless population, are all too often ignored. Black communities’ experiences with violence, incarceration, chronic disenfranchisement, enslavement, oppression, segregation, colonialism, and the intergenerational trauma stemming from these injustices, mean they are not only at high risk of mental illness but also in dire need of (and entitled to) culturally attuned support.  Our communities require resources and tools for healing and progress. Mental Wealth Alliance (MWA) is Charlamagne Tha God’s vision to close this gap through three pillars of impact: Train, Teach, and Treat.Charlamagne has assembled some of the most influential thought leaders in healthcare, business, government, technology, education, and culture to support closing the Black mental health gap.  MWA is uniquely positioned to revolutionize this vital cause by marrying incredible connections with unmatched resources.  We have the star power, credibility, vision, and funds needed to scale up the good work already underway in the Black mental health space, and build a coordinated, multidimensional movement with the ability to maximize impact and generate real, sustainable change.

The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation

As the pioneering Black mental health advocacy group in the US, the BLHF provides access to localized and black-culturally competent therapy resources sourced through a network of clinicians, service providers, counselors, and thought leaders. The foundation is named in honor of Boris Lawrence Henson, father of Academy Award and Emmy nominated actress and founder Taraji P. Henson, who suffered mental health challenges without resources or support.

Founded in 2018, within a short time, BLHF has built its reputation on the promise of providing trusted referrals and demonstrating a deep understanding of the population health of communities of color.  Through timely and relevant programming and awareness campaigns, it is the hope that mental health will become a known quantity within Black communities, helping the Foundation to achieve a critical mass of Black self-care advocates and allies nationwide. Through a myriad of corporate partnerships, BLHF encourages mental wellness; raises awareness of the stigma and the use of stigmatizing language when referring to mental illness; provides mental health resources and support, offers scholarships to Black students who seek a career in the mental health field; extends mental health services to young people in underserved schools and communities, combats recidivism and supports re-entry for returning citizens.

The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation is charting a new course that encourages Black individuals to own their history, heritage, and collective wounds in empowering, empathic, and transformative ways.
