The future of mental health care depends on the next generation of professionals. However, many young Black individuals interested in psychology, counseling, or social work face barriers such as limited mentorship, financial constraints, and systemic inequities in higher education. Without proper guidance and representation, these aspiring professionals may struggle to navigate their career paths.

At Dumas R.I.S.E. Providers, Inc., we are committed to bridging this gap by providing mentorship opportunities, career resources, and exposure to the field of mental health. By connecting young individuals with experienced professionals, we help them gain the knowledge, confidence, and support needed to succeed.

Mentorship is more than just career guidance—it’s about fostering resilience, building community, and inspiring the next wave of changemakers. When Black mental health professionals uplift and invest in future generations, they strengthen the foundation for culturally competent and accessible care. Together, we RISE.
