BIPOC Support Groups
Summit Wellness Group
The Summit Wellness Group’s Top 61 BIPOC Addiction & Mental Health Resources for the BIPOC Community.
The BIPOC Project
The BIPOC Project aims to build authentic and lasting solidarity among Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), in order to undo Native invisibility, anti-Blackness, dismantle white supremacy and advance racial justice.
We use the term BIPOC to highlight the unique relationship to whiteness that Indigenous and Black (African Americans) people have, which shapes the experiences of and relationship to white supremacy for all people of color within a U.S. context. We unapologetically focus on and center relationships among BIPOC folks.
Lines For Life
The Racial Equity Support Line is a service led and staffed by people with lived experience of racism. We offer support to those who are feeling the emotional impacts of racist violence and microaggressions, as well as the emotional impacts of immigration struggles and other cross-cultural issues.
Real
Real is a team of innovators, clinicians, and technologists on a mission to not just normalize mental health care but celebrate it. We integrate empathy, creativity, and design to build a progressive mental health care experience, while also improving the quality of care itself.
It’s way too common for mental health care to feel like it’s for other people: people with more money, better insurance, bigger problems, worse symptoms, different everything. But mental health care is for everyone—including you. That’s why we built Real, a mental health care experience that meets you where you’re at.
