We recognize the growing demand for mental health care services within the Black community during this time of heightened trauma. Swervin' Through Stress aims to subsidize costs for Black youth ages 18-25 seeking therapy. The goal is to increase access and utilization of mental health services amongst Black young adults and de-stigmatize cultural narratives about therapy among Black people. We are committed to connecting Black young adults with therapeutic resources that help inform and improve their mental health in pursuit of a better quality of life.

MISSION

G Herbo’s Swervin’ Through Stress aims to continue to destigmatize the conversation around mental wellness and provide subsidized and no-cost wellness services to the BIPOC community through education, access to resources, telehealth, and coping mechanisms to combat long-term undiagnosed mental health issues.

PURPOSE

To provide mental health services to the BIPOC community and connect them with Black behavioral health specialists.
