Black LGBTQI+ and Black female identified youth have some of the highest rates of sexual violence abuse in the nation, yet seldom receive culturally responsive mental health and are routinely victim-blamed/shamed and policed by law enforcement, Black churches, families and schools. The #Standing4BlackGirls Wellness Initiative will provide free, culturally responsive, #humanist and secular individual & group therapy for LGBTQI+ straight/cis&femme Black girls in L.A. County from 16-24 years old, beginning in January 2021 in partnership with Black women practitioners and Open Paths Counseling Center in Los Angeles. App and info https://bit.ly/3hwrwTi
