The psychological well being of our community, and the society as a whole, is in a critical state. We are the first responders of social and mental challenges for so many individuals, families and organizations.
Black Therapists Rock
has three main objectives: Professional Development, Heal the Healers, and Community Development.
The
Professional Development
purpose of BTR is to unify all current or aspiring Black Counselors, coaches, spiritual advisors, LPCs, MFTs, Social Workers, and Psychologist. Through networking, training, and mentorship, we will deliver career guidance and support to ensure the highest quality of services are provided to our communities.
The
Community Development
purpose of BTR is to inspire change through increased awareness and education regarding racial trauma and the psychological toll of systemic oppression. Globally, we partner organizations to provide free culturally relevant classes to increase psychological skills such as ancestral healing, healthcare disparities (especially as it relates to mental health and emotional wellbeing), self-esteem, goal setting, responsible decision making, and healthy relationships.
Our
Heal the Healers
program focuses on normalizing/encouraging prevention based support services for black helping professionals, to reduce barriers to psychological health and decrease stigma against seeking mental health care when needed.
It's time to let the world know that we are dedicated professionals and we absolutely
ROCK
