Our Role: 
Relational Life Foundation is dedicated to promoting healthy relationships and emotional well-being. Through Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a therapeutic modality created by Terry Real that challenges patriarchy and all forms of discrimination, we share wisdom and practical tools for building and nurturing meaningful connections. We aspire to build a space where individuals from all backgrounds feel a deep sense of belonging and are empowered to engage in relational growth.
Our contributions include:

• Cultivating Awareness and Education:  Through workshops, webinars and program offerings, we aim to educate individuals about the unique struggles that underrepresented communities face regarding mental illness, and empower them to be agents of change in their communities.
• Embracing Diversity in Therapeutic Spaces: The Foundation advocates for diversity and inclusivity within the therapeutic field. We promote the importance of culturally sensitive practices, encouraging therapists to embrace different perspectives and tailor their approach to meet the needs of diverse clients. Our Scholarship Program encourages therapists from all backgrounds to become certified in RLT. By fostering an inclusive therapeutic environment and affordable training, the Foundation ensures that individuals from all backgrounds can access effective and supportive mental health services.
• Collaboration and Partnerships: We actively seek collaboration and partnerships with organizations that share our vision of diversity and inclusion. By working together with other like-minded entities, we amplify our impact and connect with a broader audience. These partnerships allow for the development of innovative programs and initiatives that address the mental health needs of minority communities.
• Community Engagement and Support: Recognizing the power of community support, Relational Life Foundation encourages individuals from minority communities to share their experiences and seek out our supportive programs. Through our community engagement efforts, we aim to empower individuals and foster a sense of belonging.

Conclusion: National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing diversity and inclusion in mental health care. Relational Life Foundation plays a significant role in advocating for equitable access to resources and support for all individuals. By promoting awareness, education, and culturally sensitive practices, we can create a society where mental health care is inclusive, supportive and accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. Together, let's celebrate diversity, break down barriers, and pave the way for a more inclusive future.
