FLAMINGO

MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATES

Faith-infused mental health education and therapy access for women of color. 

Flamingo Trauma Recovery is a New York-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides mental health education and therapy access to marginalized communities and members of the Christian faith. We serve women of all backgrounds and empathize with women who are curious about starting a mental health journey that honors Christ, includes Christ, and strengthens their reliance on Christ.

​

This program is a bridge to ease the trial and error that comes with entering therapy, finding the right therapist, and navigating the spiritual journey that impacts every person's reality. After you are empowered with information, self-understanding, community and a strong biblical foundation, our hope is that you can navigate your mental health journey feeling empowered to make the best decisions for you, which includes knowing what you're looking for when hiring a therapist, growing or engaging with family, joining a community of faith, and entering relationships.

In alignment with this, Flamingo launched in October 2020 with safe and small healing communities and then branched out in 2021 with our 16-week program where we partnered with black women who are licensed in clinical mental health care, love Jesus, encourage deliverance and are trained to assess the brain.

 

In 2021, we set aside $2,600 in therapy relief funds and helped 38% of our participants start or continue therapy with a therapist that they trust. 

 

Now, we want to go further and do more with merging mental health and faith for those who are looking for therapy access and mental health education. That means: more book clubs, more therapy sponsorships, more deliverance ministry and more programming. It also means Spiritual counseling, employing in-house mental health professionals and building a team that provides support in more ways than Flamingo has ever done before. 

 

What we need right now is volunteers, grant writers, and mental health advocates who are eager to use their gifts to support the cause.
