About Us
The Holding Space Foundation was established in 2021 by Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, founder of Therapy for
Black Girls, as a response to the growing need for mental health services for Black women and girls as a
response to the pandemic and continued instances of race-based violence, sexism, and
misogynoir.
Seeing the need for more comprehensive and culturally-responsive services, the
Holding Space Foundation was developed to provide group healing spaces for Black women and girls,
training for mental health professionals, and community education with a focus on prevention. Our hope
is that through these initiatives, Black women and girls have the space, knowledge, and resources to
tend to their mental health.
Our mission is to provide resources and therapeutic spaces to aid Black women and girls in tending to their mental health.
