6LACK is covering therapy costs for 50 Black students as part of his new mental health partnership with Mental Health America of Los Angeles and BetterHelp.

East Atlanta Love Letter crooner is well aware the last couple of years havent been kind to everyone especially people of color. To coincide with Mental Health Day on Sunday (October 10), 6LACK announced a partnership with Mental Health America of Los Angeles and the global therapy service BetterHelp to provide mental health resources and information for Black communities. As part of the initiative, 6LACK and BetterHelp are donating six months worth of therapy sessions to 50 BIPOC (black, indigenous, and other people of color) students in MHALAs Transition-Age Youth Program, which helps young adults with mental health needs, as well as those who are homeless or on the brink of homelessness, integrate into society.
