Joy is our North Star

Mental Wellness Support for Underserved Communities

In the midst of stress, disappointment, anxiety, food and financial insecurities, The Boris L. Henson Foundation continues to serve the most vulnerable communities impacted by today's world. From our Wellness Pods on HBCU campuses and Joy Salons in barbershops and salons, to wellness hangouts in public schools and national Can We Talk? summits, we provide culturally responsive, nontraditional mental wellness resources and clinical therapy to our communities--at no cost. Over the years, we've provided over 160,000 hours of service. That's 160,000 hours of healing. Of listening. Of saving lives. We are here to serve as a trusted resource--through celebrations and crises, triumphs and tragedy. But we can't do this work alone. 

We need you.

Help us continue to support those who need it most by making a contribution towards our life-saving efforts. Your donation isn't just a number--it's a therapy session for a college student contemplating giving up. It's a safe space for a young person who has nowhere else to turn. It's a conversation that changes fear into hope for someone who was unexpectedly laid off. 

We believe that Joy is our North Star, and having access to resources through difficult times can help us all get there. Behind evevery statistic is a heartbeat--a person who deserves to be seen, heard, and healed.

Will you stand with us?

Your generosity fuels our mission. Your compassion extends our reach. Your gift saves lives.

Donate today. Because mental health can't wait.
