Neighborhood Healers Project is a community based participatory action research project committed to amplifying the importance of mental health awareness and providing accessible treatment for Black people in Lexington, Kentucky, and the surrounding counties. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the Black community, the Neighborhood Healers Project strives to bridge the gap in mental health services and support.

Through a combination of community outreach, educational programs, and direct mental health services, cohorts of Neighborhood Healers Fellows work to destigmatize mental health issues and promote a culture of wellness and resilience. We collaborate with local health professionals, community leaders, and stakeholders to create a comprehensive network of support, ensuring that mental health resources are both accessible and culturally relevant.
