About the Black Healing Centre
The Black Healing Centre (BHC) aims to design intergenerational programming that reimagines healing from a communitycentered artistic lens. By providing access to free and subsidized therapy to members of the community we seek to counteract the shared trauma that often comes with the Black experience and empower people of African and Caribbean descent in Tiohti:ke (Montreal) to reclaim their mental physical emotional and spiritual wellness.
Our Mission: Black Healing Centres (BHC) goal is to provide an accessible space for intergenerational culturally relevant and afropositive mental health care. BHCs core mission is to create an accessible and safer space for Black people to gather connect and heal. Our intention is to create an Antioppressive Antiracist community hub where people of African descent feel seen heard and supported. Our promise is to create an intentional space for us by us. We simply want to foster an environment where people of African descent feel a sense of belonging and do not have to explain diminish or defend their experiences.
