Diverse Minds, Diverse Care

A Phoenix Rising Centers Mental Health Initiative

Care That Sees You.

Diverse Minds, Diverse Care offers culturally attuned and accessible mental health support to historically marginalized communities, provided by interns who share similar experiences of marginalization.

Diverse Minds, Diverse Care envisions a future in which LGBT+ and Black and Brown individuals can attain high-quality, culturally sensitive mental health services that affirm their identities. We strive to dismantle systemic obstacles, combat stigma, and enhance mental well-being within these communities.

Through the commitment and creativity of our intern team, we aspire to foster a future where mental health care is affordable, accessible, and genuinely inclusive, enabling LGBT+ and Black and Brown individuals and communities to lead vibrant and resilient lives.

Our initiative focuses on creating a caring and supportive environment for interns, equipping them with vital tools and resources for success in the mental health sector while prioritizing their well-being. Through a series of wellness retreats, we aim to provide a space where interns can access holistic healing services for both body and mind, improving their capacity to serve the communities we support.
