Mental health journeys are deeply personal. And for Black, Indigenous, Latino/a, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and other communities of color, those journeys often carry the weight of historical trauma, systemic barriers, and cultural stigma. Healing, in these contexts, is not just about accessing services—it’s about reclaiming agency, culture, safety, and belonging.
We understand that representation and cultural connection matter. That's why we created the Washington State BIPOC Wellness Resources—a living collection of support services, peer-led initiatives, mental health professionals, and culturally grounded organizations that serve BIPOC individuals navigating mental health and substance use recovery.
This guide is not exhaustive—but it is intentional. It centers BIPOC voices, honors lived experience, and aims to connect people with affirming and accessible care. Whether you're looking for a therapist who understands your background, a peer group rooted in shared experience, or an Indigenous-led recovery circle—this guide is a starting point.
What you’ll find in the guide:
Black-led organizations offering therapy access and mutual aid
Indigenous-centered healing programs and wellness centers
Latino/a community support groups and bilingual behavioral health
Asian and Pacific Islander mental health services
2SLGBTQIA+ peer support intersecting with BIPOC identity
Peer-run warm lines and recovery helplines
We offer this resource in honor of BIPOC Mental Health Month, but the intention is year-round support and visibility. Everyone deserves to heal in a way that feels safe, seen, and culturally rooted.
If you know of an organization or provider that should be included, please reach out to us. This guide will grow as our collective care grows.
Let this be one of many tools that reconnects us to our inherent worth, our ancestral wisdom, and our shared future of healing.
