The website provides access to free therapy organizations, including the Center for Interactive Mental Health Solutions, iPrevail and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. It also has sections for mental health hotlines, resource directories and LGBTQIA+ community resources. Under each category is a drop-down menu of hotline numbers or useful links to external websites, the majority of which are focused on BIPOC and LGBTQIA community members. “Bounce back like bad bitches always do” a large text box reads, in reference to a line off of “Anxiety” from the 2021 Best New Artist award winner’s most recent album, Traumatize. This isn’t the first time the star has been an advocate for mental health awareness. In February she launched the Pete & Thomas Foundation in honor of her late parents, Joseph Pete and Holly Thomas. The foundation aims to “catalyze resources to effect meaningful and positive change in the lives of women and children, senior citizens, and underserved communities in Houston, TX, and across the globe." She told People that she was raised to give back. “I’m incredibly proud to be in a position to accomplish that goal. I have a responsibility to use my platform to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who may not have access to resources and support services.” The “Body” singer opened up about her own struggles with mental health on the Peace of Mind with Taraji podcast last year. “As a Black person, when you think of therapy you think of ‘Oh my gosh, I’m weak,’ you think of medication, and you just think the worst,” she told podcast host Taraji P. Henson. “That’s kind of what you see on TV too; like, therapy wasn’t even presented in the media as something that was good. Now it’s becoming safe to say, ‘Alright now, there’s a little too much going on. Somebody help me.’” Check out the website for more information and helpful links to access mental health support.
