Cascadia Training Honors Black History Month by Donating to Two Organizations to Support the Mental Health and Well-Being of Black and/or BIPOC individuals, therapists, and organizations

10% of ALL WORKSHOP REGISTRATION SALES made the end of February will go to two amazing and vital organizations, Atlantic Street Center and Mental Health Liberation (supporting Inclusive Therapists)

Cascadia will be donating 10% of ALL workshop registration sales through the end of February to two incredible organizations: Atlantic Street Center and Mental Health Liberation which supports Inclusive Therapists to honor Black History Month and support the health and wellness of the Black community, including both clients/patients and mental health and social work providers and practitioners who identify as Black and/or BIPOC.

Out of each and every workshop registration through the end of this month:

  • 5% will go to Seattle-based Atlantic Street Center, a non-profit social service agency whose mission is to help families and communities raise healthy, successful children and youth through direct services and advocacy for social justice and equity. Atlantic Street achieves their mission by providing educational, family support, and behavioral health counseling services for children, youth, and their families. They primarily serve no- and low-income African American families and other families of color who reside in the Greater Seattle area, primarily South King County and North Pierce County. Bonus Fun Fact: Many of Atlantic Street’s fantastic mental health and social work professionals frequently attend Cascadia’s workshops!

 

  • 5% will go to Portland-based but nationally active Mental Health Liberation, whose mission is to liberate, heal, and thrive by bridging Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) with quality therapy, empowering Clinicians of Color, dismantling systemic inequity, and reclaiming healing for melanated, marginalized, and displaced Peoples. Mental Health Liberation is the sibling non-profit who handles donations and funding of Inclusive Therapists, a mental health liberation movement creating change through decolonial education, collective care, and activism. They provide a safer, simpler way to find a culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, social justice-oriented therapists. Inclusive Therapists centers the needs of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and 2SLGBTQIA+ intersections (QTBIPOC), while amplifying the voices and expressions of Neurodivergent and Disabled Communities of Color.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

You can do your part in helping us honor Black History Month by supporting these wonderful and vital mental health organizations by registering for as many workshops as possible before the end of February!

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Last year, as many of you know, we donated over $2,000 to two outstanding organizations, Deconstructing the Mental Health System (DMHS) and the Therapy Fund Foundation, with our 2022 Black History Month Cascadia Cares campaign.

Think we can top that donation amount this year? We do! Because of our amazing Cascadia Family and customers!

With gratitude and appreciation for your support,

Brian, Sally, Melody, Bethanie, Bob, and the Entire Cascadia Crew
