Healing Forward


Healing Forward is a unique educational vehicle that provides therapy, haircuts, and healing conversation to at-risk youth. We are seeking your support to help us reimagine and upgrade our vehicle so that we can continue to serve the community and make a positive impact on the lives of those who need it most.

Why Healing Forward is Important:

Many at-risk youths struggle with mental health issues, trauma, and a lack of resources to help them navigate life's challenges. Traditional therapy can be costly and inaccessible, leaving many youths without the support they need to succeed. Healing Forward provides an innovative solution to this problem by bringing therapy and healing conversations directly to the youth in their communities.

The haircuts provided by Healing Forward also serve as a way to build self-esteem and confidence, which is crucial for youth who may not have the resources to access such services. Additionally, the incorporation of a healing curriculum provides a holistic approach to addressing mental health and trauma, helping to equip youth with the tools they need to thrive.

The Importance of Reimagining Our Vehicle:

Our current vehicle has served us well over the years, but it is in dire need of an upgrade. We need to make significant improvements to ensure the safety and comfort of our clients, as well as to provide a more effective and efficient service.

Some of the improvements we are seeking to make include upgrading the interior to provide a more comfortable and inviting space for our clients, installing a new sound system to facilitate therapeutic sessions, and adding more equipment to improve our services.


Your Support Can Make a Difference:

We are asking for your support to help us raise the funds needed to reimagine our educational vehicle, Healing Forward. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of at-risk youth by helping us to continue providing much-needed services to those who need them most.

Your support will also help us to expand our reach, allowing us to serve more communities and reach more youth in need. With your help, we can make a positive impact in the lives of at-risk youth, helping to build stronger and more resilient communities.

Thank you for your support in helping us reimagine Healing Forward and make a difference in the lives of at-risk youth.

THE BLACK MAN PROJECT

The Black Man Project explores the origins of how misconceptions such as one dimensional expression and emotional inaccessibility have come to be. We specifically explore the complexity of African American masculinity for young boys and simultaneously create safe spaces for black young men to engage in dialogue that grants space that nurtures healing, wholeness, leadership, accountability, and brotherhood.
