Our Mission
The mission of Whole Village Healing Services, Inc. is to improve the health & wellness of minorities living in/experiencing poverty in the Hampton Roads region through education, access, and support.
About Us
Whole Village Healing Services was founded to address healthcare disparities in communities of color, specifically the African-American community. We noticed disparities in care and access to mental health, financial literacy, basic material needs and we decided to take action. Our founder is a Health Psychologist passionate about healing and wholeness for People of Color.
What We Do
We provide access to mental health education and outpatient services to our community members. We offer trauma informed, gender specific groups to women who have experienced intimate partner violence, childhood sexual abuse, and other traumatic experiences. In addition to the mental health services, we provide financial literacy training and education to improve economic independence and sustainability.
Tangibly we provide financial support to community members facing financial hardship including but not limited to threat of utility disconnection, housing & food insecurity, lack of resources necessary to sustain employment. We also co-host an annual back to school drive that focuses on providing supplies to lower income students who mostly attend Title I schools. We also provide healthcare supplies to seniors.
