Mission
The specific purpose of Resonant Equity is to increase access to quality mental health care by addressing inequities and eliminating prejudice and discrimination at all levels, from interpersonal interactions to systemic structures, through clinical education, research, and programs for counselors.
What does that mean?
Resonant Equity is about breaking down barriers in mental health. By supporting equity initiatives for counselors and other mental health clinicians, Resonant Equity can support greater access to care to people who need it most. Those with greater social privilege tend to have better access to mental health services, and even when access is available to individuals, the care is not always attuned with who they are, based on their specific identities.
In other words, Resonant Equity works to support the pipeline of more counselors from diverse backgrounds to get licensure, and better training for all counselors in working with clients from different cultures. Our programs to achieve these goals are built around training, mentorship, and advocacy in the counseling profession. Our first initiatives are focused on California based on the significant barriers to licensure that exist here. We are simultaneously building out our first continuing education program on health equity.
Resonant Equity is a tiny organization with big plans!
