About Us

At Lavender Nest, we’re more than a service—we’re a community and a movement. Our mission is to bridge the gaps in mental health care, advocacy, and community support for Black lives while reshaping the narrative through storytelling. By focusing on individual well-being, we believe healthier individuals lead to stronger families and, ultimately, better communities, with the goal of healing and impacting generations to come.

Our Mission
  • Creating a space without barriers to mental health care, where Black individuals, families, and communities can heal through comprehensive care.
Our values
  • We believe in Black family wellness: centering their experiences in mental health care, breaking stigmas, and healing for generations to come.
  • We believe in fighting for the family unit: advocating for policies that impact individuals, families and the community as a whole.
  • We believe in sharing stories: creating a healing space to express our feelings and share our experiences.
