This Giving Tuesday, help us raise $2,500 to deliver free, trauma-informed mental health care to children and families in Charlotte’s underserved neighborhoods.

The FACTS Initiative is Black-woman-led, and our clinicians reflect the communities we serve. When families see themselves in their therapists—and when cost, transportation, and waitlists aren’t barriers—trust grows, engagement rises, and healing is possible. We meet families where they are, providing on-site care with partner nonprofits and building a pipeline of clinical interns so more families can access care that reflects their culture and lived experience.

This year, The FACTS Initiative received the APAF Minority Mental Health Award, a national recognition of our commitment to equity in mental health. Your gift moves this work forward.
