Empower Mental Health as an inclusive mental health organization mourns the loss of George Floyd by murder in our city of Minneapolis, supports protestors and the Black Lives Matter movement, and is committed to doing antiracist work, both personally and professionally.
I have found Resmaa Menakem’s Cultural Somatics e-course to be a critical starting place for anyone interested in recent events through the lens of racialized trauma.
To put this commitment into action, we are donating 25% of our revenue to local organizations impacted by unrest and working to change systems. This month’s donations are going to Reclaim the Block, Roots Community Birth Center, and Women for Political Change. You can donate directly to these organizations or use this link to donate to Empower Mental Health - the rest of your donation will go toward coaching and training through an antiracism lens:
