Our team extends beyond Kinnect wellness professionals and includes the entire community. We partner with other nonprofits, institutions, organizations, and professionals both within and beyond traditional healing fields.
In 2020, three therapist friends began to dream about wellness with increased access and equity for Black people and others of the global majority. In early 2021, we founded Kinnect and were granted 501(c)3 status later in the year. We look forward to expanding as we continue to fulfill our vision.
We create opportunities for people of the global majority (PGM) to receive quality, holistic health and wellness care by connecting individuals, professionals, and organizations within the community. We also aim to develop and support a growing network of professionals committed to social equity and collective healing.
In recent years, research has shown a decline in mental health for Black and Brown teens. We partner with Project 16 to offer therapy services to teens ages 13-17 at no cost to them.
Want to sponsor a wellness program? We want to help. We partner with individuals and institutions to advance our shared vision for access and equity in mental health and holistic wellness.
Our Kinnect members are health and wellness professionals who share our commitment to community. Kinnect members receive (free) exclusive access to paid opportunities through our programs.
