I found this resource website on Instagram and wanted to share it on my blog. This website provides information and links to petitions to sign, where to donate, information regarding protests, black mental health resources, educational resources and so much more. Please take a look into this website.
The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by Taraji P. Henson. One in five Americans suffer from mental illness and African Americans are the least likely population to seek treatment. The foundation ensures cultural competency in caring for African Americans in need of mental health support. BLHF partners with other organizations who offer programs that educate, celebrate and make visible the positive impact of mental health awareness.
This BLM google docs resource page provides links to where you can donate, petitions you can sign, resources for people seeking legal assistance, books, youtube videos, tips for protesters and some much more.
This document is intended to serve as a resource to white people and parents to deepen our anti-racism work. If you haven’t engaged in anti-racism work in the past, start now. Feel free to circulate this document on social media and with your friends, family, and colleagues.
