Wellness Project New Orleans

Wellness Project New Orleans mission is to provide holistic, trauma informed, and culturally competent services to individuals and families, and to support practitioners (with an emphasis on BIPOC practitioners) by providing financial, educational, and social resources. We envision our space as a place for practitioners and community members to feel seen, held, and heard.

Wellness Project New Orleans is a worker self-directed non-profit 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.

Wellness Project New Orleans is excited to share that we have provided 500+ sessions to community members since launching our Therapy Program in September 2023. Your donation goes to helping us double that number! Help us raise $7500 to cover costs for the next 150 sessions.

All of our clients have paid between $0-$50 per session.

31% of clients identify as Transgender and/or nonbinary
85% identify as LGBTQIA
49% BIPOC
65% have an annual income less than $30,000

Our goal is to increase access to mental health care in the Greater New Orleans area by providing counseling on a wide sliding scale and through supporting local practitioners.
