The Better Days Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming how mental health is viewed, experienced, and prioritized in BIPOC communities through innovative, STEAM-based approaches that merge technology, creativity, and community-driven care.

How Do We Work?

Storytelling

Innovative Programming

Through our immersive workshops, virtual reality activations, creative arts sessions, and digital storytelling, we provide transformative tools that address stress, anxiety, self-worth, and identity. Whether through a healing circle, an AI-powered mindfulness tool, or a community art event, our programs are rooted in accessibility, creativity, and collective care.

We partner with schools, community organizations, artists, technologists, and mental health professionals to co-create environments where young people feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.

We envision a world where mental health is universally valued, accessible, and embedded into the everyday lives of BIPOC youth and young adults—empowering them to thrive emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. At The Better Days Project, we believe mental wellness is not only personal—it’s collective. It’s how we build stronger, more liberated communities.

Healing Through Community

We also expand our impact through workforce readiness, housing development, and pop-up wellness activations that reimagine what it means to support mental health holistically. Each offering is designed to reduce stigma, uplift authentic voices, and ensure BIPOC youth and young adults have the space and resources to discover their purpose and walk in it boldly.

Join The Better Days Project and Owen Doster in the first installment of our three-part Men's Health Initiative. In this video, we hit the campus of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine to ask men a fundamental question: "What Does Men's Health Mean To You?" Explore the diverse perspectives and insights as individuals candidly share their thoughts on the importance of men's health, breaking down stereotypes, and fostering a community of support.
