WHAT WE DO
Soul Wellness Social Support & Therapeutic Services delivers multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual mental and physical wellness services.
We disrupt cycles of underreporting, lack of access, & waitlisting through a FULL Wellness Collective FULLY focused on serving and representing the BIPOC CommUNITY!
We put faces, names, & feelings back into our CommUNITY!
WHY WE DO IT & OUR GOALS
We are building a national wellness collective of BIPOC wellness professionals to meet the needs of the BIPOC commUNITY.
According to Mental Health America, 41.8% of the US population identify as BIPOC, yet only 4.1% of therapists are BIPOC, and of those, 86% have a waitlist.
The need for culturally, ethnocentric, and linguistically matched therapists & wellness professionals continues to rise. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the US and the MOST preventable.
We are building this wellness collective for you, the person who needs a place to walk y(our) healing journey. You remain the expert of y(our) life and partner with a wellness professional who serves as a subject matter expert. Together you co-curate a wellness journey you can walk together step by step.
We launched this initiative to provide both the wellness professional and person seeking wellness services with a marked increase in quality of life. Wellness Professionals earn a fair living wage, enjoy a work-life balance, and CONNECT to our commUNITY of BIPOC wellness professionals!
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to connect people to wellness professionals like them in language, culture, and experience to create inclusive places where BIPOC people can feel seen, heard, valued, respected, and, most of all, belong.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to take therapy and wellness outside of the therapy room. We bring wellness initiatives and our wellness collective to y(our) commUNITY by connecting with governments, municipalities, agencies, and educational institutes. We provide skills and tools to address wellness, trauma, and grief in y(our) leadership teams, employees, and those you serve.
