Bronx Mental Health Leaders (BxMHL)

The Bronx Mental Health Leaders (BxMHL), founded in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a student-run mental health pipeline program located within the South Bronx community. Currently, BxMHL has successfully completed its fifth cohort, providing its members with unique experiences and opportunity to grow as future advocates and leaders within mental health!
 

BxMHL's Mission is to diversify the mental health workforce by creating a peer support program that aids in the promotion, education, and empowerment of black, indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC). BxMHL aims to improve access to culturally competent mental health care in underserved communities as we strengthen outreach and engagement within the field. We look to de-stigmatize the barriers that are present within mental health throughout the Bronx and surrounding communities as we accommodate the next generation.
