we are MENDing a nation.
MEND is a collaboration of trauma experts dedicated to healing communities of color.
Compound generational trauma plagues communities of color.
No social justice movement is complete or sustainable without addressing mental health deficiencies that are passed down through generations of minorities. Systematic oppression, physical abuse, family separation, lack of access to healthcare and other living necessities, and denial of basic human rights and dignities have all contributed to a sickening normalcy of trauma in melanated communities.
This is our answer to the call for reform.
What does MEND do?
Mend is committed to providing to clinicians of color greater access to quality evidence-based trainings that have been shown effective in the treatment of mental health conditions rooted in trauma. In turn, these clinicians commit to providing a full course of free or low cost treatment to at least two patients per year for a minimum of five years. The impact of this commitment spans far beyond the patient who is being treated. Over time, the ripple effects of bringing health and healing to disenfranchised citizens will echo in schools, workplaces, homes, places of worship, and prosocial community relationships for generations.
Evidence-Based
We are committed to providing trainings that have a proven efficacy in the treatment of trauma. Currently, we have over 1300 clinicians who have committed to becoming experts in ACT, EMDR, and other evidence-based treatment modalities.
Be MENDed.
