Why this summit, why now

Building what our communities deserve

The current mental health system is not adequately serving our communities, especially Black, Indigenous, and other people of color who have the least access and often face the most stigma when trying to find care.

We envision a robust mental health system in Oregon that is equitable, affordable, culturally responsive, community centered and community driven — a holistic system where our communities can process pain, grief, and trauma to build a society that is content and free to live our lives to our fullest capacity.

The Oregon BIPOC Mental Health Summit is the first statewide gathering of its kind — a culturally grounded convening of community members, mental health professionals, advocates, and youth leaders building Oregon's next chapter of mental health equity.

Sponsors get their name and values in front of 250+ BIPOC providers, advocates, and community members from across Oregon — and a meaningful seat at the table in shaping the future of mental health equity in the state.
