It takes a village
to heal
Black Mental Health Village is building a liberatory wellness ecosystem in Memphis — clinical, communal, cultural, and systems-level healing, all in one village.
Healing was never meant to be done alone 
Here in Memphis 
we hold each other 
across every generation 
until the whole village is well 
BMHV Memphis is the newest circle of the Village — planted so our support, resources, and collective power reach families right here at home. A Black-led, liberatory wellness ecosystem for Memphis and the Mid-South.
Four ways we heal
How we heal
Clinical healing
Individual therapy, group therapy, case management, and medication management with Black therapists and clinicians — care built for people the traditional system has failed.
Communal healing
Wellness gatherings, art, community meals, open mics, and storytelling circles that bring the Village together right here in Memphis.
Cultural & narrative healing
Storytelling, media, and creative expression that shift consciousness and drive health justice forward. Narrative is medicine.
Systems healing
Health justice advocacy, coalition building, and community health research rooted in Memphis. We change the conditions, not just the symptoms.

Mission
Bring clinical, communal, cultural, and systems-level healing together so Black communities can live, love, imagine, and build a future beyond survival.
The chapter
BMHV chapters are friends, neighbors, and advocates uplifting Black mental health where they live, shaping events and resources around what their community needs most.
Who we’re for
Students, men, women, elders, youth, faith communities, LGBTQIA+ people, parents and caregivers, neurodivergent people, and justice-impacted people.
Black people are capable of creating and leading the interventions that heal and sustain our communities.
That belief is why our leadership is Black and why some spaces we curate are just for Black people. Still, the Village is inclusive: we provide resources and support, without discrimination, to anyone who’s struggling, and we welcome value-aligned people and organizations who want to build with us toward racial health equity, healing, and liberation.
