Mental Health & Substance Use Health Resources

At Across Boundaries, we recognize that racism has a real and lasting impact on mental health. For racialized communities, experiences of discrimination, exclusion, and systemic inequities can cause stress, anxiety, and trauma. Our goal is to provide resources that acknowledge these realities while supporting healing, resilience, and empowerment.
