Wellness Project New Orleans

Wellness Project New Orleans' mission is to provide holistic, trauma informed, and culturally competent mental health and wellness services to individuals and families, and to support practitioners (with an emphasis on BIPOC- Black, Indigenous and People Of Color practitioners) by providing financial, educational, and social resources.

Wellness Project New Orleans is a non-profit and worker led mental health organization based in New Orleans, co-created by a group of local Licensed Clinical Social Workers. In our work, we witnessed gaps in access to affordable wellness services and a lack of support in resources for wellness providers. We believe that mental health care and wellness is a human right, not a privilege, and that mental health care and wellness can be a cost-effective, accessible, and transformative part of reimagining a healthier New Orleans.

As the movement for economic and workplace democracy continues to grow, we think it is important that nonprofit organizations also internalize and practice workplace democracy. We are committed to developing an organizational structure and culture that operates to allow all workers to have the power to influence the programs in which they work, the conditions of their workplace, their own career paths, and the direction of the organization as a whole.
