Membership

About Our Membership Base

NQTTCN is a base building organization led by and for QTBIPOC members who tend to the physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of our community. Utilizing healing justice as our compass, we organize with practitioners, organizers and community members, in order to transform collective trauma and intervene against the harm of the medical industrial complex.

Our membership is composed of QTBIPOC and BIPOC health and mental health practitioners, healers, movement leaders and organizers, birth workers, spiritual practitioners, cultural workers and artists, educators, coaches, facilitators, social workers and peer support practitioners. Together we are actively engaged in the long term work of building abolitionist ecosystems of care that our people need and deserve.

Members are also eligible to pitch content for our respective newsletters and socials.

Mental Health Directory

Inclusion in our mental health directory is exclusively reserved for our QTBIPOC mental health practitioners who study, organize, and build with us around healing justice. Most specifically, it is reserved specifically for actively engaged members who are licensed, pre-licensed, or certified, and who meet the responsibilities of membership.

If you’re looking to share your psychotherapy practice more broadly but unsure about becoming a member in our network, we encourage you to explore directories from our comrades at Latinx Therapist Action Network, Inclusive Therapists, and Therapy for Queer People of Color.
