Womanist Working Collective prioritizes holistic wellness (individually/internally & community care/externally) as a vital part in community building and alleviating trauma-induced mental health issues like depression, anxiety, isolation, etc. that may be caused by experiencing many intersecting oppressions and compounding traumas. We intentionally center a Healing Justice framework, Pleasure Activism practices, and Trauma-Informed Care Practice in our work, to acknowledge the very real impact external forces have on our lives, livelihoods, and quality of life.

The Black Liberation Therapy Fund was created in 2020 to provide financial assistance to Black gender expansive folks, specifically Black women of trans and cis experience, Black femmes, and/or Black non-binary people to increase access to mental health and wellness support. The Fund is designed to provide financial support in recognition of the fact that we are often shut out of or hesitant to access care due to financial barriers.
