DWP grants $5M to expand culturally responsive youth care

As youth mental health challenges reach unprecedented levels, advocates are calling for solutions that reflect the cultural realities of young people. The Decolonizing Wealth Project (DWP), a nonprofit initiative, is stepping into that gap with its new Youth Mental Health Fund, which has already distributed $5.07 million to 34 organizations nationwide. The effort prioritizes support for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) and LGBTQ+ youth, groups that often face barriers to care in traditional systems.
