Welcome to the Black Wellness Collective Lab

At our core, we believe in your right to thrive! Our mission is to reduce suicide rates and enhance mental wellness through innovative, community-driven research and practices focused on mental health and suicide prevention. We envision a world where every community finds life truly worth living.

We focus on five main pillars:

1. Community Engagement and Partnership

  • Foster collaborative relationships with community members and organizations.

2. Research on Populations Most Impacted

  • Conduct research that prioritizes the voices and experiences of populations most impacted by suicide and mental health rates.

3. Capacity Building and Technical Assistance

  • Provide resources, training, and support to organizations that address wellness, empowering them to implement effective strategies.

4. Education and Advocacy

  • Develop educational programs and materials that raise awareness and advocate for policies that promote wellness.

5. Suicide Prevention Consultation

  • Offer expertise in interventions to fit the needs of populations most impacted.
