Mental Health Equity Project

Beyonce’s BeyGOOD recognizes the immense mental and personal health burdens being placed on essential workers during the COVID-1 9 pandemic. In our major cities, African-Americans comprise a disproportionate number of workers in these indispensable occupations, and they will need mental health support and personal wellness care, including testing and medical services, food supplies and food deliveries, both during and after the crisis. BeyGOOD has partnered with Jack Dorsey’s #startsmall to provide $6 million in funding to organizations providing mental wellness services, through a key national partnership with UCLA. The initiative is also partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to offer local support in Houston, New York, New Orleans and Detroit. Personal wellness support will aid the following organizations; United Memorial Medical Center, Bread of Life, Mathew 25, and others.
