What is the Community Collaborator Program
The Community Collaborator Program is an initiative of Our Mental Health Collective (OMHC) created to increase access to culturally grounded, identity-affirming mental health services across our region. This program invites private practice clinicians, therapists, and wellness providers to partner with OMHC in advancing decolonized therapy, community-centered care, and collective healing.
By joining as a Community Collaborator, clinicians help strengthen a network dedicated to equity, cultural responsiveness, and liberation-focused mental health practices. Together, we build pathways for community members to find support that reflects who they are — without barriers.

01
Expand the availability of culturally aligned mental health services
02

Training, mentorship and professional development opportunities rooted in decolonized care
04

05
