Healing for the mind, body & soul

The California Black Women's Health Project (CABWHP) is the only statewide, non-profit organization that is solely committed to ​improving the health of California's 1.2 million Black women and girls through advocacy, education, outreach and policy. We focus on empowering Black women to take personal responsibility for our own health and to advocate for changes in policies that negatively affect Black women's health status.

Sisters Mentally Mobilized is back in Los Angeles!

​Sisters Mentally Mobilized (SMM) is back in LA, training Black women to become mental health community advocates in order to launch mental health-focused Sister Circles in the communities where Black women live, work, play, and pray. We are continuing to build an army of Black women across California to reduce the stigma of mental health and provide sister circles of support for mental wellness. Our Sister Circles and Mental Health Initiative SMM are providing necessary social connections for our sisters to advocate for us to thrive and be mentally well!

What I loved most about Sisters Mentally Mobilized was having a seat in the circle! We all were welcomed, heard, supported and seen.
