Black Healers Collective (BHC)
BHC, a community of practice within InPower Institute, is dedicated to fostering the healing and wholeness of Black people and marginalized communities. Founded in St. Louis, MO in 2016, BHC is a powerful collective of change agents that includes healers of all modalities, activists, educators, artists, chaplains, mental health practitioners, and more working together to cultivate wellness, resilience, and empowerment. BHC’s mission is to support the Black community in:
“Re-membering” itself, healing the fragmentation caused by generational trauma and systemic oppression within households, families, and neighborhoods.
Expressing its truths and exercising its power through culturally affirming and liberating practices.
Creating healed futures that affirm Black lives and uplift the dignity, self-worth, and well-being of all community members.
Rooted in the principles of connectedness, cultural affirmation, and trauma-responsive practices, BHC exists to nurture the wellness and resilience of Black communities and beyond. Through holistic programs rooted in Afrocentric and community-led healing modalities, BHC has become a sanctuary for those seeking to heal, connect, and create pathways toward liberation.
