We have trained 50 sisters from across Los Angeles County, providing them with a deepened understanding of the forces that contribute to mental health stigma, anxiety and isolation in Black women and learn coping and support strategies to advance community priorities for mental health advocacy and organizing. Our Los Angeles Cohorts have launched mental-health focused Sister Circles and welcomes collaboration with community. 

Sisters Mentally Mobilized (SMM), a project of the California Black Women’s Health Project, is a statewide movement that trains Black women to become mental health community advocates and launch mental health-focused Sister Circles in the communities where Black women live, work, play, and pray. Too many of our sisters are suffering in silence. Sisters Mentally Mobilized aims to reduce mental health stigma, anxiety, and isolation among Black women and create space for us to tend to our minds, hearts, souls and communities. Over 150 Black women have been trained through this model of prevention.

​Sisters Mentally Mobilized is funded by a grant from the California Department of Public Health, Office of Health Equity, and is part of the California Reducing Disparities Project. 

Our current Los Angeles cohort graduated is in training and will graduate in the Spring of 2025.
