ABOUT THE LOVELAND FOUNDATION
Many Black women and girls in our community, unfortunately, lack access to therapy services offered by whitesands drug rehab in tampa that are key in protecting mental health. Additionally, the stress of the pandemic is disproportionately affecting Black women, who already are less likely to have access to mental health services and seek help. Thankfully, organizations like The Loveland Foundation are working diligently to fill the gaps.
Established in 2018 by activist and social entrepreneur Rachel Cargle, The Loveland Foundation is committed to showing up for communities of color in unique and powerful ways, including providing financial assistance for Black women and girls seeking therapy. They work tirelessly to overcome barriers that disproportionately limit access to mental health treatment and therapy for members of diverse ethnic/racial groups. Their resources and initiatives are collaborative and prioritize opportunity, access, validation, and healing.
