Our Roots

The Heart of Dekouvri

Our Mission

Dekouvri transforms the mental health landscape for the Haitian community by providing culturally resonant, Haitian Creole-first resources and dialogue. We bridge the gap between tradition and therapy, fostering a safe space for authentic storytelling and self-discovery.

Our mission is to empower every individual to unearth their own path to healing, one conversation at a time.

Our Vision

A world where the Haitian diaspora thrives in mental and emotional wellness, free from the constraints of stigma, judgment, or shame. We envision a community where seeking help is celebrated as a strength, and where every individual is equipped to reclaim their narrative and their peace.

Understanding the MindRoots

💡

The Lightbulb

The moment of discovery — when we stop running from our stories and start learning from them. The light of "Dekouvri."

🌿

The Roots

Our ancestors, culture, language. Healing does not mean abandoning where we came from — it means returning with new eyes.

🧠

The Hidden Faces

Look closely. The brain-tree holds the faces of those who came before. We carry each other forward.

A Letter from the Heart

I did not grow up with the language of "mental health." I grew up with proverbs, with prayer, with the unspoken rule that we carry our pain quietly because we had survived too much to complain. But survival is not the same as living. For so long, our community has been strong for everyone else. Dekouvri is a space where we get to be human — to ask hard questions, to sit with difficult feelings, and to discover that peace was never as far away as it seemed. It was always in our roots. We just needed permission to look.
