Where Healing Begins and Hope is Restored
Our Mission:
Our purpose is to support, advocate, listen, and bridge the gap for underserved and underrepresented individuals in our community. All of our services are designed to meet the unique needs of those who often face systemic barriers to access and opportunity. We take a culturally responsive approach that ensures clients feel seen, heard, and free from judgment. Our programs are especially attuned to the specific needs of underrepresented families in Western Wisconsin. We focus on empowering individuals and families by offering supportive services, peer groups, and tools to help them thrive, without invalidating the cultural values and traditions that shape their identities.
We emphasize each client’s strengths and resilience while helping them navigate the challenges they face daily. Through culturally affirming services, strong advocacy, and civic engagement, we aim to uplift and empower historically underserved communities across Western Wisconsin.
Our Vision:
A community where all individuals, regardless of background, have access to equitable, affirming mental health resources, support systems, and pathways to thrive emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
Fighting for Black equality.
Seeing a need to support, advocate, listen and bridge the gap between and for African Americans in our community, we formed our organization to provide a central hub with sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the people committed to ending racism in this amazing community!
