—— Communal Healing Department
Belonging Is Medicine
BMHV's Communal Healing department creates the spaces, programs, and partnerships where Black communities reconnect — with themselves, with each other, and with the world. Because healing isn't only clinical.
Communal Healing at BMHV
Black Mental Health Village is a Black‑led liberatory wellness ecosystem that brings clinical, communal, cultural, and systems‑level healing together so Black communities can live, love, imagine, and build a future beyond survival.

Yoga With Ashley!
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to find healing and inner peace through the practice of yoga. However, we also understand that the world of wellness can often be exclusive and centered around a narrow definition of what it means to be healthy.
That's why we are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for all bodies, but especially for Black people. Join us for Yoga with Ashley!
