Mission
The Affirmative Collective was formed to promote justice-related advancements in the development and implementation of evidence-based psychological assessments and interventions in diverse populations. Community mental health programs are often understaffed, with long waiting lists, and many don't focus on providing evidence-based practices (EBP). Careful, affirming, competent, anti-oppressive therapy requires a commitment to ongoing and advanced training, which requires time and resources. Many EBPs have not been validated in marginalized populations, leaving it open whether best practices are best practices for all. Manualized treatment plans do not always build in explicit acknowledgment of identity, especially in relation to oppression and intersectional identities. TAC's mission is to provide world-class, evidence-based, culturally aware care for underserved and marginalized populations through establishment of clinics and ongoing supervision and training of employed clinicians.
Program accomplishments
- TAC's primary goal is to provide world-class, evidence-based, culturally aware care for underserved and marginalized populations. All of TAC's time and resources were allocated to this goal. TAC achieves this goal through the establishment of clinics and training/mentorship programs. Utilizing primarily CBT and third-wave interventions, practitioners offered outpatient care for conditions such as mood disorders, trauma/PTSD, OCD, SUD, and sleep difficulties. To date, TAC has served more than 125 clients. TAC also sought to develop and promote the careers of psychologists and psychologists-in-training who hold marginalized identities through advanced training and mentorship. A majority of these clinicians are post-masters doctoral clinical psychology students in Washington receiving payment for their services and exceptional training. TAC has developed a thoughtful and robust practice of mentorship for our clinicians-in-training, including paying for licensed clinical psychologists for supervision and financially supporting employees' ongoing clinical training by sponsoring enrollment in world-class continuing education programs offered by non-TAC organizations.Expenses $64,356
