What We Do

Injustice impacts all of us, but because of efforts like the Michigan Black Therapy Fund, we can make a difference.  The Michigan Black Therapy Fund (MIBTF) is a program dedicated to creating space for healing community trauma. 

Our Mission

The mission of the Michigan Black Therapy Fund is to foster collaborative healing in the black community and build opportunities for advocacy & connection among black mental health professionals.  Our vision is to heal collective trauma, offer clinicians a way to give back, and build resilience in our community.

We do this in two ways.  First, we aim to link black clients with black clinicians statewide, providing mental health services free of charge.  Second, we connect black/BIPOC clinicians to build strong professional networks throughout Michigan and increase black access to mental health services.

“Our current goal is 100 Black Men and Women to receive services in Michigan.”
