Mission Statement
The mission of Oshun Family Center is to provide racially concordant mental and physical healthcare to members of the Black community that are struggling to cope with life transitions. Especially those impacted by postpartum mood changes, birth, and racial trauma. It is our goal to center the experiences of Black people and create a welcoming space for healing and refuge.
