The Black Mental Health Revolution is happening now!
The Ma'at Program is a supportive holistic therapeutic community, in which we center and work with Black/African American families in San Francisco.
Ma’at uses a whole-person approach to provide Afri-centric, culturally responsive, heartfelt, behavioral health care. We provide effective treatment to increase equity of access at no cost to clients.

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.

MA'AT Voices
“We don’t try to come in as experts. We do have our intellect and our clinical skills, but we also never leave a school without collaborating with the social worker, the principal, or the group facilitator. We don’t just come in and try to create change without including the powers that may be there as well, because we think that alignment is important. And I think that connection and collaboration also creates trust in our services so they keep asking us to come back.”
