Named after Boris Lawrence Henson, the father of actress Taraji P. Henson, the foundation addresses mental health challenges in Black communities, aiming to remove barriers preventing individuals from accessing vital resources and support.

Established in 2018, the BLHF is known for trusted referrals and a deep understanding of the health needs of communities of color. Through programming and awareness campaigns, the foundation aims to highlight mental health as a crucial issue in Black communities.

This Giving Tuesday, contribute to joy by supporting the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. Your support fuels our mission: creating spaces, providing resources, fostering joy, and reshaping the narrative around Mental Health in the Black Community. Our goal is to provide 1 million hours of free mental health services over the next five years! Through awareness campaigns, culturally competent resources, psychoeducational hangouts, and impactful initiatives, we aim to liberate the community mentally.
