Our Therapeutic Service

At Foundation for Fogo, we are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive and bilingual mental health support to Kriolx individuals—a term that is inclusive of all Cabo Verdeans, regardless of gender identity. Our services are tailored to address the unique mental health needs of the Kriolx community, focusing on providing a safe and supportive environment for those seeking help.

Crisis Messaging: We offer a discreet and accessible crisis messaging service, where anyone in need can send a message to connect with our team of dedicated clinical psychiatrists who specialize in the mental health of afro-communities. Our bilingual volunteers are here to listen, offer support, and provide guidance during challenging times.

Crisis Hotline: Foundation for Fogo is actively fundraising to launch Cabo Verde's first Crisis Hotline. This hotline will provide an immediate and direct means of support for those in crisis. With this service, individuals will not only be able to message but also call in if they require urgent assistance. Stay tuned for updates on the launch of this critical resource.

• Cultural Sensitivity: Our mental health professionals are well-versed in the unique cultural and linguistic nuances of the KRIOLX community, ensuring that individuals feel heard and understood.
• Bilingual Support: We offer support in both English and Kriolu, making it easier for individuals to communicate their feelings and concerns.
• Expertise: Our team consists of clinical psychiatrists with expertise in addressing mental health issues prevalent in Black and Brown communities.
• Confidentiality: Your privacy and well-being are our top priorities. All interactions are strictly confidential.

You can support our mission by making a donation to help us establish the Crisis Hotline. Your contribution will directly impact the mental health and well-being of the KRIOLX community. Stay connected with us for updates on our fundraising efforts and the launch of our new service.
