Mental Wellness Initiative: to underscore and address the trauma that our community experiences. During this time of political crisis, increased targeting, criminalization and deportation of our community members, the UndocuBlack Network is prioritizing our community’s survival and resistance through mental wellness. We believe our community’s holistic survival is a matter of urgency. The initiative therefore focuses on expanding the dialogue on the increased urgency of mental wellness within our affected communities, creating and facilitating supports, and ensuring adequate access to mental health services. The first roll-out from the initiative is our guide, The UndocuBlack Guide for Mental Wellness Specialists. This guide is meant to highlight experiences of Black undocumented community members in mental healthcare, and offers some insight and direction to mental health providers on considerations while engaging their Black undocumented community members as clients.
