We are beyond proud of the work Charmain Jackman, Conferences for Women speaker and friend, is doing to bring access to therapy to women of color through InnoPsych. This directory is helping people find their ideal therapist and breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental healthcare.

Additionally, InnoPsych provides professional resources, networking opportunities, and business coaching to therapists building their practices.

On a monthly basis, we host networking events and workshops with successful business professionals who share valuable information and resources to all attendees.

Niyla writes, "I want to nominate my Nana, Shelley Coulter, who has been my everything from the day I was born. I am 10 years old and my mother put me in my Nana's arms when I was 1 week old, to be safe. My Nana works as a Family and Community Engagement Specialist at Rosedale Middle School in Kansas City, KS. She is also a children's author. Through this time of COVID 19, she has served her students and has donated money, encouraged people and family with words of hope, and given books to parents for their children to read."

If you or someone you know is going above and beyond to help in her community, we'd love to hear about it.
