Current Initiatives
The Resiliency Project Foundation (TRPF) and Creative Kuponya (CK) joined forces in the summer of 2020. CK is an innovative mental health therapy practice with a holistic approach to treating mental health issues that TRPF saw as meeting our mission.
We reached out to Creative Kuponya after reading an article about CK’s amazing work in the local newspaper. CK shared that they were offering free and low cost therapy for Black, Indigenous and People of Color, without the barriers of the insurance model. Creative Kuponya was unapologetic in sharing the fact that the medical model of diagnosis and insurance hurts people of color and women.
Data shows that these groups are misdiagnosed and disproportionately treated within the system of traditional mental health and they were on a mission to change this.
TRPF set up a partnership with CK to fund therapy sessions for BIPOC teens and young adults who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
Since launching the partnership with CK in late 2020, The Resiliency Project Foundation has funded nearly 235 FREE therapy sessions for BIPOC youth and their families in need of therapy as of March 2022.

Mental Health & Young People
Approximately 1 in 5 teens suffer from at least one mental health disorder. Nearly 1 in 3 teens meet the criteria for anxiety disorder by the age of 18. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-34. Teens and young adults are particularly vulnerable and at highest risk to fail traditional medical management.
