Donate to this organization

Extra Ancestral Company is a visual arts performing group that strives to preserve and highlight the timeless healing modalities of music and dance. Due to the cultural genocide of colonization, African diaspora communities of color throughout the Americas have become disconnected from the importance of ancestral practices in connection to ancestral archetypes and Orisha therapy. Through educational performances, live drumming, workshops, festivals, and Orisha dances, the company seeks to reduce and heal the generational trauma in communities of color and the history that forced the separation of African people across the Atlantic and have endeavored to retain/embrace their cultural roots.

Donate to this organization

One of the biggest reasons people don’t seek help or support when they are struggling with a mental health challenge is because of the stigma and shame associated with it. YouthWell focuses on education, support, prevention, and early intervention (PEI), connecting youth and families to mental health and wellness resources before the crisis. YouthWell seeks to simplify access to mental health and wellness resources for youth through age 25 and their families, making solid connections through warm handoffs. The YouthWell Community Collaborative includes 50 engaged partners and convenes quarterly to work together towards systemic change. YouthWell provides an online Youth & Family Mental Health & Wellness Resource Directory, a Community Calendar, and monthly Wellness Workshops.
