OUR AIM IN PRESENTING THESE TOPICS IS TO EQUIP BLACK INDIANA RESIDENTS WITH RESOURCES TO CULTIVATE HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNITIES. BUT THE ENTIRE WEBSITE OFFERS MUCH MORE, INCLUDING GUIDELINES OF SELECTING A THERAPIST AND HOW TO BECOME ADVOCATES FOR HEALTHY, STRONGER, AND MORE JUST COMMUNITIES AND SOCIETIES.

About our Organization!

Black Psychologists or ABPsi (see website: https://abpsi.org/). IABPsi was formed as an organization in 1976.
WHAT THERAPISTS DO
We honor exceptional therapists. If and when you decide you want to see a professional to help you through either a crisis or a journey toward improving your emotional and interpersonal life, we want to serve you by helping you select an exceptional one. To us at IABPsi, this means that the professional you choose should show an ability to embrace, explore, and validate your experiences as a Black person.
And it doesn't stop there: exceptional therapists strive to understand you fully and holistically in order to offer you the best help they can provide. They understand that race and culture necessarily blend with other aspects of identity, like gender, where you were raised, your family circumstances, and your spirituality. On our Seeking Help page, we offer guidelines on selecting the right therapist for you.
