Mental healthcare for marginalized and intersectional communities. We strive to address the strong lack of engagement between marginalized communities and the mental health care industry which arises as a result of cost, stigma, and lack of culltural competency. We achieve this by matching members with providers that share their unique traits, values, and sensibilities.
