July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month! We`re incredibly grateful for the powerful work fostering community care and safety in relationships across Alameda County. Join us in celebrating these vital organizations building true care infrastructure and movements for collective liberation:
✨ Roots Community Health Center (@rootsempowers): Providing holistic, integrated health and wellness, honoring BIPOC experiences and fostering self-determination. They center community strengths, not deficits.
✨ Pacific Center for Human Growth (@pacificcenterberkeley): Enhancing well-being for LGBTQIA+ and QTBIPOC communities through culturally responsive therapy, peer support, and outreach. They integrate social justice and trauma-informed frameworks for equitable care.
✨ Restore Oakland (@restoreoakland): Believes collective liberation intertwines with personal healing. Their mission: to create safe, thriving communities and economies by bringing Oakland residents together to build wholeness, safety, and democratic wealth.
✨ Back To The Land (@anthropocenealliance): An Oakland coalition of Black, Brown, and Indigenous nature enthusiasts helping BIPOC people engage in meaningful outdoor experiences. Through research and community work, BTL demonstrates nature’s power in enhancing mental health and fostering self-determination.
✨ The Betty Ono Foundation (@bettiono): Builds power through culture, amplifying artists` voices and celebrating everyday culture. Their vision embodies the bold spirit of Betty Mabry Davis and Yoko Ono, valuing art as activism, self-determination, community transformation, and cultural resilience for Black, Brown, Immigrant, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ artists and communities.
These organizations aren`t just “providing services”. They are building care infrastructure and movements for collective liberation. Show them some love and learn more about their incredible work!

🧠✨ Upcoming Webinar: The Impact of Migration on Mental Health and Dementia
Join us on Wednesday, June 25th from 4–5 PM for a powerful conversation hosted by Crisis Support Services of Alameda County.
Migration is a social determinant of health—and for the millions of Californians born outside the U.S., experiences of displacement and migration can deeply affect mental health and increase the risk of undiagnosed dementia.
💬 Learn from expert speakers:
🔹 Daniela from the Alzheimer’s Association will discuss dementia types, risk factors, and how it shows up in immigrant communities.
🔹 Dr. Sideman from UCSF will explore the mental health impacts of migration and share insights from a new study.
