Expanding Access to Mental Health Tools for Marginalized Youth and Families
I’m proud to share that I recently founded Bodhi Mental Care & Wellness—a nonprofit organization dedicated to making evidence-based mental health support accessible to those who are often left waiting or overlooked. We offer free neurofeedback training and meditation sessions to youth and families living in marginalized communities. Our mission is to reduce barriers, provide practical tools for emotional well-being, and empower participants to cultivate greater awareness, resilience, and clarity.
We’re not just an idea on paper. Bodhi Mental Care & Wellness is already operational. Free meditation sessions and events are being offered online, including upcoming streams on YouTube, welcoming anyone who wants to participate. We’re also moving forward with the process of securing charitable status to expand our reach and impact.
What is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a science-based training method that helps people learn to regulate their own brain activity. It uses real-time monitoring of brainwave patterns, giving participants direct feedback to support healthier, more balanced mental states. The brain is a dynamic system, always adapting. Neurofeedback harnesses that natural adaptability to promote calm, focus, emotional regulation, and greater self-awareness.
Why Does This Matter?
Communities facing systemic inequities often encounter long wait times, high costs, or cultural barriers when seeking mental health support. Youth and families in these environments can experience heightened stress, trauma, and limited access to effective care. Neurofeedback and meditation provide practical, non-pharmaceutical tools that anyone can learn to use, supporting emotional regulation, mental clarity, and healing. By offering these programs free of charge, Bodhi Mental Care & Wellness aims to disrupt cycles of marginalization, foster resilience, and create space for lasting well-being.
How You Can Help
Our work relies on the generosity of those who share this vision. Donations enable us to keep sessions free for participants who need them most, expand our programming, and continue building accessible pathways to mental wellness.
