Your Membership Fuels Action. Your Action Fuels Healing.
At Black Mental Health Village, we are not observers. We are practitioners, advocates, and healers on the front lines, creating trauma-informed and healing-centered systems of care where they are needed most. We move beyond theory to provide tangible solutions and support for our community.
When you become a member, you don't just join an organization, you join a movement. You gain a network of passionate professionals and allies, and you directly contribute to a sustainable future for mental health advocacy. Your membership is an investment in your own growth and a commitment to the collective well-being of our community.

Black. Queer. Rooted in Community.
Hey y’all, I’m Dr. Chanel Thomas—a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner born and raised in Nashville, TN. As a Black, queer woman, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find mental health care that feels safe, affirming, and actually helpful.
I created Blue Sage Wellness because our communities deserve care that doesn’t gaslight, pathologize, or ignore us. This is a space where your culture, your queerness, your neurodivergence, and your truth are assets—not barriers. Together, we can break cycles, reclaim rest, and build sustainable healing.
