Painted Brain began as a community-based arts group in 2006 and has evolved into a multi-faceted behavioral health provider in Los Angeles, CA.

We are a peer-run 501(c)(3) and a majority BIPOC women-led organization that creates lasting, community-based solutions to mental health challenges and the impact of social injustice through arts, advocacy, and enterprise. Since our inception, we have provided services to people impacted by behavioral health challenges, social injustice, poverty and incarcerate systems.

We have trained hundreds of peers as Certified Peer Support Specialists and provide recovery services for thousands through peer counseling, therapy, and resource referrals and linkages.

PB's mission and purpose includes community driven approach, advocacy for systemic change, empowerment through employment, underserved community focus, holistic support services, and peer-led mental health revolution
