Empowering Black Men to Heal, Grow, and Thrive

Strong Roots Collective provides culturally competent mental health support for Black men—through therapy access, storytelling, and community.

About Us 

Mission

To empower Black men to prioritize their mental health by breaking stigmas, providing culturally relevant resources, and fostering a supportive community rooted in healing and strength.

 

Vision

We envision a future where Black men have equitable access to mental health care, are free from stigma, and thrive in communities that uplift their healing, resilience, and humanity.

Our Story 

At Strong Roots Collective, we began with a truth too often ignored: Black men are hurting in silence. Born from lived experience and a deep understanding of generational trauma, we saw a gap in the mental health system—where Black men were overlooked, stigmatized, and underserved.

​

What started as a vision for healing has grown into a movement. We believe mental wellness is a right, not a luxury. Through therapy access, healing circles, and culturally rooted support, we’re planting strong foundations of care, connection, and justice—because strong roots grow strong communities.

Together, we are building a community where Black men can heal and thrive.

About the Founder

IMG_5399_edited.png

Jeysonlee Jones is the founder of Strong Roots Collective, a healing-centered initiative rooted in justice, community, and culturally grounded mental health. With a background in HR, education, and ministry, he brings a holistic approach to advocacy that honors both the systems we navigate and the souls we carry.

A preacher’s kid turned minister, Jeysonlee grew up steeped in faith and family—but also witnessed how emotional struggles, especially for Black men, were often silenced. That reality sparked his commitment to creating space for Black men to be fully seen, supported, and empowered.

 

Strong Roots Collective exists to do just that—offering resources, storytelling, and community that challenge stigma and affirm that tending to our roots is how we heal and grow.
