Ma'at Focuses on 7 Cardinal Virtues
Through these values, we provide individual and family therapy, mobile community outreach, culturally-based referrals, and community organizing and advocacy. Ma'at is a healing community based on Afri-Centric and culturally opulent principles.
In Ma’at, Black therapists and program staff work with Black children, youth, and families to help them feel seen, understood, and echoed. ​
The purpose of the Ma'at Program is to improve behavioral health outcomes for Black/African American children, youth, and families in San Francisco and address the historical legacy of intergenerational racism, inequity, and trauma.
HCN's vision is to support families to passionately and unconditionally affirm Blackness.
