Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation

Crisis & Suicide Support · Virginia · Free

Mental health resources for the Black community including LGBTQ+ people, founded by Taraji P. Henson. Useful for trans, nonbinary, and questioning callers who need to be heard without explaining what their pronouns mean. Chat and text options are available alongside phone for people who can't speak out loud safely. Specialized lines don't appear in your phone records as 'mental health' — most show as a regular national 800 number. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
