Our Story
The stigma of mental illness has plagued many communities. As opposed to searching for resources and leaning on one another for help many communities of color stay silent. WOYM will not allow this silence to happen any longer. We aim to spread awareness among our community in order to combat the stigma.
We are working to make a change in our community day by day. Our work focuses on a series of small change to create large and lasting impact.
