Breaking the Silence: Mental Health and Healing in Our Communities

Mental health is often stigmatized, especially in communities of color where silence has

too often been the response to pain. At ONV, we are committed to breaking that silence.

We believe healing begins when people feel safe enough to share their struggles without

fear of judgment.

Through workshops, podcasts, and partnerships with mental health professionals, ONV is

creating spaces where conversations about depression, anxiety, trauma, and healing are

not just accepted—they are encouraged.

Access to affordable mental health resources remains a challenge, but ONV is working to

bridge that gap. By connecting individuals to trusted professionals and community-based

solutions, we’re making mental health care more approachable and accessible.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight. But by normalizing the conversation, supporting one

another, and acknowledging that it’s okay not to be okay, ONV is helping to rewrite the

narrative around mental health. Together, we can move from stigma to strength.
