For nearly a decade, we’ve been doing this work with and for our community. Now, we’re calling on our community to help sustain and grow it.

For eight years, Inner City Bliss has been creating healing-centered alternatives in Oakland and beyond. Founded in 2018 by mental health advocate Andre Humphrey, who grew up navigating poverty, violence, and systemic oppression, ICB was born from his vision to build the kind of healing spaces he needed as a young person.

What began as Andre’s dream has grown into a practitioner-led movement that has reached more than 5,000 youth, families, and caregivers across Oakland, Richmond, and San Leandro. We work with system-impacted youth and families in historically divested communities, where access to mental health care, safe green spaces, and culturally relevant support is scarce.

Through these programs, thousands of students, caregivers, and community members have found spaces for regulation, healing, and belonging.
