The Family Peer Navigator was created with the mentality "for us, by us". We are a group that have come together to help connect with, inform, guide, and empower the Black community on matters around early psychosis and other mental health concerns. As a group we represent family members, community members and advocates, providers, and researchers. If you are interested in joining our efforts to improve pathways to care for Black and African American families, please contact us at fp.navigator@wsu.edu.

MulticulturalCounselors.org is about connection: connecting communities of color/culture with counselors who understand and connecting counselors of color/culture with a network of support.
People of color/culture spend our daily lives as "minorities" navigating a "majority" culture. Seeing a counselor or clinical supervisor doesn't have to be another place where you speak for / explain your culture. Other counselor listings primarily search by location, but the closest counselor isn't always the best fit. MulticulturalCounselors.org gives you the opportunity to search by the things that matter to you most.
