Fresh Start Expands Services for Women of Color Through $1.3 million Investment from JPMorgan Chase
Women experience depression twice as much as men, and Black women are only half as likely to seek care as White women. There are several barriers that account for the disparity in seeking support, including a lack of therapists from communities of color, cultural stigmas, and high costs. Through a $1.3-million commitment from JPMorgan Chase to Fresh Start Women's Foundation, the nonprofit will provide expanded resources and support directly to women of color.
