CT BIPOC Mental Health & Wellness Alliance Team

The CT BIPOC Mental Health & Wellness Alliance was born in 2020, during the height of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism. Founded by Dr. Janelle Posey-Green, the Alliance emerged as a community-led response to the urgent need for mental health and wellness resources for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in Connecticut.

​

What began as a grassroots effort to share information and provide support during a time of collective crisis quickly evolved into a powerful network of BIPOC mental health professionals, healers, and wellness practitioners. The Alliance started by hosting virtual forums to connect community members with culturally responsive care and resources building a vibrant, supportive space that crossed disciplines and generations.

​

Today, the CT BIPOC Alliance continues to uplift its original mission while expanding its reach. Through monthly educational forums hosted on Facebook, the platform remains a vital source of knowledge, collaboration, and empowerment for both BIPOC professionals and community members seeking to deepen their understanding of mental health and holistic wellness.

​

Now, in a major milestone, the Alliance is proud to host its very first in-person conference, bringing together voices from across the state to share, learn, and grow in the spirit of healing, resilience, and collective care.
