On The Mend provides accessible and affordable coping and holistic healing
skills to queer people of color (QPOC). On The Mend offers anti-oppressive
and trauma-informed practices in a self-help video format, allowing folks to begin
their healing process at their own pace. The course modules, delivered by
licensed mental health counselors, provide powerful key therapeutic skills and
speak to the concerns of QPOC. Modules can be worked through at one’s own pace and are offered at an affordable price (included sliding scale) to
reach a larger audience while acknowledging the systemic economic inequalities
and other barriers that can prevent QPOC folks from accessing quality mental
health care. Increasing the ability of QPOC folks to re-author and re-narrate past
and ongoing trauma is a theme that runs through all course modules and is
directly connected to the educational background of co-founder Deanna
Richards.
