Journeys: The Road to Safety,
Stability, and Success
"Transferring Women's Silent Walks to a Supported Journey"
Breaking barriers and ending stigma for women facing mental health disparities, especially schizophrenia, through advocacy, housing, counseling, and therapy
Our Mission
The Road to Safety, Stability, and Success
"Journeys was created out of love, heartbreak, and the determination of a mother who refused to let her daughter's story end in silence."
Our mission is to advocate for women living with serious mental illness — especially those battling Schizophrenia — who are too often lost between hospitals, homelessness, and incarceration.
We exist to remind the world that behind every diagnosis is a human life full of dreams, potential, and worth.
Journeys is committed to helping women find what every person deserves: safety, stability, dignity, and the chance to begin again.

Why Journeys Exists
Women of color face significant mental health disparities, with barriers including cultural stigma, lack of culturally-competent providers, and limited access to affordable care. For those living with schizophrenia and other serious mental health conditions, these challenges are even more pronounced.
Journeys was founded to bridge this gap—to create a safe, stigma-free space where women of color can access advocacy, housing support, counseling, and therapy that truly understands their lived experiences. We believe every woman deserves the opportunity to heal, thrive, and live with dignity.
Our Story & Community Voices
Hear why Journeys was created and what it means to our community
A Founding Vision
Journeys was born from a simple truth: women of color deserve mental health care that sees them, hears them, and honors their experiences. Too many have been turned away, misunderstood, or left to navigate complex systems alone. We're here to change that story.
