Black gay, bisexual, and queer men + Mental Health = Powerful Healing

What is Headspace?

Headspace is a space for Gay, Bisexual, and Queer male-identified Black, Latinx and other people of color to heal with folx that look like you & love like you

We want to make emotional/mental health more accessible for gay, bi and queer male identified youth. We believe that community connection plays a vital role in emotional health.

You have the power to heal and you don’t have to do it alone. We have a community to support you every step of the way. Services are provided by people who love and look like you.

You have options! Whether you prefer a virtual experience or if in-person is more your thing. We offer our services virtually and in-person.

Gay, bisexual, & queer male identified Black, Latinx and other people of color, ages 18-29.

Headspace provides a space for Gay, Bisexual, and Queer male-identified folx when they are stressed. Conversations are facilitated by peers that look like you & love like you.

This is the chance to talk about tools that may help you reach your goals.

Talking to someone can help us heal, organize our thoughts, and find our voice. Finding a therapist that works for you is an essential aspect of your wellbeing and overall health.

We are a queer affirming program that strives to support the emotional wellbeing of young Gay, Bisexual, & Queer male identified folx. Project staff are made up of folx that look and love like you.

We offer individual & group spaces to connect with other young Gay, Bisexual, & Queer men identified folx that are ready to support you. Project staff will partner with you to identify the best services that meet your needs .

Why would I want to see a psychiatrist?

Sometimes we may want to think about taking medication to support our emotional health.
