What it reported doing in 2025
The Black Mental Health Movement launched its ongoing Black Mental Health Continuing Education Program in June 2025 to provide free accredited training opportunities for mental health professionals. As an approved provider through the National Board for Certified Counselors NBCC the program delivered 14 virtual training sessions between June and December 2025 featuring approximately 25 subject matter experts from across the country. These sessions provided a total of approximately 320 continuing education CE hours and were designed to equip professionals with culturally responsive tools to better serve Black communities while supporting the maintenance of professional licensure. The program also aims to reduce barriers to entry and advancement in the field by offering scholarship opportunities for licensure-related expenses including clinical supervision and by facilitating clinical supervision matching for participants.
