SELF Care
While working as a clinical therapist and through having her own therapist, our founder quickly learned that African American women lacked a safe space to openly discuss mental health with each other and professionals of color.
As a result of this void The Sisters' Couch was created. The Sisters' Couch is a safe place for Black women to come together to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, gain access to resources, and learn from one another's experiences.
Increasing self-preservation among Black women
Educating Black women on mental illness
Providing direct connections to mental health professionals of color
Creating an intimate community where Black women can discuss mental health
