Alkeme: Black Mental Health

This was an app I accidentally subscribed to but so happy I did. It took months for me to remember I had this app but when I did, I was mad I didn’t remember sooner. As a person who “holds in all in”, and raised in a family/community that believes therapy is taboo, it felt so good to be seen and “heard” in this space. They have topics for everyone and beginner friendly for those introducing themselves to a mental health. I was happy I made it through a majority of the modules and lessons. I would encourage any Black individual to at least give Alkeme a try. Thank you!

Their array of videos covers so many topics from family relationships, internal healing, to even the experience of being a black person and perceived in ways that are outside of who you really are. I have r really been helped by their content and all the doctors, therapists etc they showcase. Please check it out. I believe they will be very helpful and gen healing.

This app is a great tool and resource for me. I am a childhood trauma survivor and right at the beginning of the pandemic my youngest brother suddenly died from a brain aneurysm. His death triggered deep buried trauma in me. I started seeing a grieve therapy which evolved to trauma therapy. I still see my therapist — we engage in talk therapy and she gives me tools and techniques to work with my body. I am healing!! This app however is amazing because it’s Black therapist with more tools and techniques I can use between sessions with my therapist.
